BibleTime has a "Find" context menu in the works windows that searches
the text a window. This opens a small modal Find dialog. I have replaced
this with a Find docking window.
It has the following advantages:
1. Not modal, so you can do other things while it is open.
2. All occurrences of the searched term are highlighted and one is
selected. Next and Previous move the selected text. This happens in the
currently active works window.
3. The highlighted and selected text is updated for each character typed
into the Find window, making it easy to find a word.
4. As the width of the Find window changes, it will change from a narrow
4 line window to a 3 line, a 2 line, and a 1 line window. This allows it
to be docked on the side or at the bottom or top.
Any feedback?
