A nice feature to add to the gnome-terminal would be a "Find text"
functionality. The user would enter a string, and the terminal would search
for it, not only in the visible part, but also in the scrollback lines. If
found, the terminal would scroll back to that position and the string would
be highlighted (*not* selected).
  Also by default it would search backwards, from the most recent line the
the oldest, but that should probably be configurable.
  I think this would be a real innovation. At least I haven't seen it
anywhere else before...
