The 'highlight_selected_word' method fails in very long texts

I have changed this part of the code:

index = text.find(search)
self.search_lines = []  # Restore search lines
appendLine = self.search_lines.append
while index != -1 and word:
    line = self.SendScintilla(QsciScintilla.SCI_LINEFROMPOSITION,
                                           index)
    if line not in self.search_lines:
        appendLine(line)
        self.SendScintilla(QsciScintilla.SCI_INDICATORFILLRANGE,
                                     index, word_length)
        index = text.find(search, index + 1)

by:

search = re.compile(search)
self.search_lines = []
appendLine = self.search_lines.append
if word:
    for lineno, line_text in enumerate(text.splitlines()):
        for i in search.finditer(line_text):
            start, end = i.start(), i.end()
            self.fillIndicatorRange(lineno, start, lineno, end,
                                                self.__indicator_word)
            if lineno not in self.search_lines:
                appendLine(lineno)

And the results were better, but I do not know if more efficient
