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

Well there's nothing in the eggfindbar code that does this.  I guess it could be done outside of it.

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).
