Hi,

in Chromium, if you search for something (C-f something), all parts of the text that contain 'something' are marked yellow in the scrollbar.

any plans to have this fun gadget in konversation, too?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
hit c-f something

Actual Results:  
normal incremental search, with no overall cues on where the serach text occurs beyond the current match

Expected Results:  
have markers in the scrollbar where they are for the whole text.

that allows to use the scrollbar to wuickly go to 'interesting' parts of the text.

as a bonus:  add highlighting for all matches.

I really like the way chromium does this.
