gEdit search bar for hightligting

The highlighting and encoding menus are huge, which makes searching for something (that you don't really know where it is) very hard.
Maybe if a simple search box was provided this will make it a bit easier? Is that hard to implement? Should we subclass KActionMenu again for this?
Is it useful to have or not?

I would like it a lot. On the long side it may better to have this one

  Menu of "most recently/frequently used"
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397563

Perfect would be to have both

Nowadays we have KCommandBar which addresses this issue.
