It started in evince, then I copied it from there in my Find extension
for Epiphany. I modified it a bit, but that's now merged back to evince,
afaik. So I guess both are a good source for the eggfindbar code.

However:
I'm currently working on integrating the find bar into Epiphany, and I'm
_not_ using eggfindbar. Instead, I'm implementing a find bar based on a
GtkToolbar, like the Yelp find bar. That will make Epiphany and Yelp
have the same findbar look and feel, so perhaps you'll want to join? :)
[The code isn't in cvs yet.]
