           Summary: [GTK] Implement inline search and highlighting of
                    matching strings.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: christian at twotoasts.de


We want to be able to search for text in a website and highlight matching
strings.

WebKitMac and WebKitWin have WebView::searchFor.

The term 'search' can be found at several places in Gtk/ Glib, such as
gtk_text_iter_forward_search, gtk_tree_view_set_enable_search or
g_sequence_search_iter.

I suggest webkit_web_view_search_string. I chose the term 'string' because a
website could just as well be searched for hyperlinks or images.

Would we want to have an equivalent for frames? Mac and Win don't. I imagine we
don't want one either, but comments are of course welcome.
