Great - that was quick work! It seems to work ok for me; I'll try to
road-test it over the next few days.

Like Firefox :)

One I can think of is the option to keep the incremental search widget
permanently present. At the moment it disappears when focus changes to the
main text area.

Another (less important to me, but probably more complicated) would be to
allow easier change to search options (such as match case, exact word,
etc.). At the moment it uses whatever was last set in the Find dialog
(which is fine as it goes). Perhaps, again, something along the lines of
the Firefox implementation.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for the contribution.
