Improve search addon API #705

@Tyriar

Description

@Tyriar

The find API introduced in #704 can be expanded upon in the future to support:

  • Using a different selection type so that multiple instances can be highlighted at once
  • Find multiple instances on the same line
  • Find terms that are wrapped across 2 lines
  • Options: regex, case sensitivity, etc.
  • Return the number of results (may impact performance)
  • Allow "find as you type", allowing the current selection to be expanded if it matches
