Re: [Evolution-hackers] Firefox style search bar in evolution

[Bryan Clark <bclark redhat com>]

For Evince we are sharing the eggfindbar [1] with Epiphany, you might want to take a look at that code, it doesn't have that close button.  Here's [2] a screenshot of what searching in Evince looks like.

I don't know that having two search bars would necessarily be confusing for people in the single message view.  Of course in the preview pane I agree you might want to do something different.

Currently for the match highlighting (for 'all matches', not the 'current match'), we have to re-render the entire message.  That feature would probably have to be removed for the interactive search (i think we can still have it for the message list search value).
