Why would you not store the page in the disc cache in the same format as
it was originally downloaded in? This means stuff like View Source can
still work when viewing cached content. Also it avoids an unnecessary
conversion.

NetSurf already has a search option in the core code. It can search the
current page and highlight matches. The GTK front end for this has not yet
been written so you won't see this feature in the GTK version.
There is currently no way to search all visited pages.
The best time to catch most developers in our IRC channel is in the
evening (between 19:00 and 00:00) in UTC+0. There are also normally some
developers around during the day time (UTC+0).
