Hrm. What did you do to get it called? I do

  $view -> signal_connect("start-interactive-search", sub {
    warn "bla";
  });

  $view -> set_search_equal_func(sub {
    warn "ble";
  });

and all I get is "bla at ..." two times for every C-f I throw at it - if
and only if the column headers are focussed. As soon as the focus moves
to the actual cells, C-f has no effect anymore.

Ok, that's fine with me.
