            Bug ID: 302284
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.8.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
           Summary: highlight the position of all found search results in
                    the scrollbar, just like google chrome does
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: delian66 at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: history
           Product: konsole

Google Chrome does this in its search results, as well as seveAn example for
the feature is described here:
http://www.techdreams.org/browsers/brilliant-google-chrome-ui-highlights-search-text-occurrences-on-scroll-bar/379-20080928

In summary - you search for something, and then you not only are transported to
the first match, but the scrollbar actually shows the aproximate positions in
the scroll buffer where all the matches are found. 

This allows feedback for:
1)whether there are any matches
2)aproximately how many they are
3)how they are distributed in the buffer



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konsole
2. Make the scrollbar visible, if it is not already
3. Run for example 'for((i=0;i<10;i++));do ls -la /; done', so that there are
several times more lines in the scrollbuffer, than currently visible in the
konsole window.
3. Press Ctrl-Shift-F, and search for sbin for example.
Actual Results:  
The first 'sbin' match is highlighted in the konsole window. The scrollbar
thumb should be repositioned, so according to the current window position in
the scrollbuffer. The scrollbar background, however is NOT changed.

Expected Results:  
The scrollbar background should be striped, to highlight where are all the
matches for the given search term (sbin).
