Since I love incremental searching so much I bit the bullet and fixed
it. Don't quite know how patch submitting works, so over here for now:

Great - that was quick work! It seems to work ok for me; I'll try to
road-test it over the next few days.
It was mostly signal handlers not returning right stuff. I've modified
the not-found behavior slightly (was not working anyway) and rather made
it give a visual feedback.
Like Firefox :)
Yeah exactly! :)
I'm game to improve incremental searching mode even more, so I'm open
for suggestions. With Niel's grace of course.
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.
Your welcome, I already find it useful myself.
Thanks for your ideas, the firefox implementation is a good one as
reference.
I see a bit of a problem with the separation between a linux and windows
scite codebase, because I use both. Adding advanced features in linux
requires the same in windows, at great effort duplication expense and at
risk of losing coherence between the versions.
I suppose porting scite to something crossplatform sometime is a
preferable strategy. Is this part of the roadmap of scite's future?
