We will host our videos on an internal streaming server. We have subtitles (captions) as separate files.
Can you recommend a way of embedding videos with subtitles and search in subtitles functionality?
I found an experimental implementation with JW Player and modified it for my requirements: https://www.jwplayer.com/innovation/experiments/interactive-transcripts/
Kaltura/3PlayMedia also has a similar close caption feature -- where the transcript displays beside the video versus 'in' the video, so a user can search it. See the second video in that link.
We have been successful with webvtt subtitles and flowplayer.
You can see a pretty brief demo here.

I use the VideoEasy filter for this. If you can use that, the attached VideoEasy template might help.
Without a streaming server you would put the subtitle file in the same folder and with the same name as the video .eg. mycoolvideo.mp4 and mycoolvideo.vtt . Not sure about streaming servers.
There are demos for making transcripts clickable etc for webvtt. This is one:
