Is there some way to prevent the default find / search (CTRL+F / CMD+F) in Google Chrome from being overridden?

I've noticed a few applications such as Atlassian Confluence that overrides find with their custom implementation.

Yes, but you'll probably need to know some javascript.

If the Confluence site is overriding the keydown event using a JS event listener, you'll need to write a userscript which will remove the event listener so the functionality is restored to the captured shortcut.

I haven't used Confluence, but if Atlassian has overridden the Find command ctrl+F / cmd+F, that is very bad behavior on their part and the best course of action is to contact support and complain about that bad UX.
