Editor: browser finds only textual matches visible in window

[thSoft]

If I use the browser's search functionality (Ctrl/Cmd+F), only those matches are found which are visible (located in the editor section that is currently visible in the browser window).

This is due to CodeMirror's flywheel implementation, which enables it to render very large files without taking a severe performance hit. There is a find addon for codemirror that addresses this problem. We'd be happy to receive a PR from any interested users incorporating this, otherwise we'll return to it ourselves after we've improved the reliability of the editor.

I'd like to take a stab at this!

@bookwormgirl910 Are you still working on this, or can I take it up?

@ChristopherDumas Sorry for leaving this! I haven't had time to work on it, so yes, please feel free!

Okay! I got a few projects taken away from me on the rust compiler, so I didn't want to do that to anyone else. (:

Aw that's very nice of you, I appreciate it! ☺️ Have fun and good luck!
