Description Evan Maddock 2025-04-08 21:00:58 UTC

SUMMARY
When performing a text search with Ctrl+F, the search bar at the bottom of Kate does not show the current match or the total matches, like in the dedicated Search interface when pressing the Search button. It would be really handy to display the number of results like when you Ctrl+F in a web browser, or other text editors, for example, 3/12 for the third result out of 12 total results.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a file
2. Hit Ctrl+F on the keyboard
3. Search for a text string

OBSERVED RESULT
The interface does not show the number of matches

EXPECTED RESULT
The interface to show the number of matches, and which match the cursor is currently at.
