I use dark themes. All themes available in System Settings use blue or light
blue for Selection Background, but I always change it to brown or purple, so it
does not glare and the white text is still easily readable. (In many places,
the Selection Background is used permanently, so it has potential to glare.)

No my problem with Okular is different to yours. Text selection (using Text
Selection mode) makes text invisible, because PDFs use black text. I need to
change the Selection Background color locally in Okular, while I am relatively
ok with yellow for Ctrl+F searching. Does this need another bug report?

Although there is no color sheme entry for Search Highlight Background, I
suggest adding these options:
Configure -> General -> Appearance:
[_] Use custom background color [KColorButton] (already there)
[x] Use custom text selection color [KColorButton]
[_] Use custom search highlight color [KColorButton]

I already suggested to add another KColorButton to the Ctrl+F search bar,
right?
