Actually looking at the existing code, it's based on QTreeWidget so any searching functionality would require re-writing it with a QTreeView and model, a bit more involved. I have made some adjustments to the code at [1] (to add support for boll, int and double types), I was wondering if I should make a pull request or merge it as it is so other devs can have a look?
