In order to search in a document a search string has to be defined. This can be
done in two ways. Either by pressing ''Foenix+f'' or by pressing ''Foenix+t''. In
the first case the user is prompted for a string and in the second case the
current contents of the simple string clipboard is set as a search string. That
a search string has been defined is visualized in the bottom right corner by
the text ''SRCH''. When ''Foenix+f'' is used to enter a search string then a search
for this string in forward direction is immediately started after the user has
entered return. Searching is always performed in a case insensitive fashion.

After setting a search string, pressing ''F3'' searches for the previous
occurrance of the search string in the text and ''F7'' searches for the next
occurrance. I.e. ''F3'' searches in backwards direction and ''F7'' in forwards
direction.

While a search is in progress a * character is shown in the upper left corner.
If the search string is found then the text view is updated in such a way that
the line where the string was found is the first line shown and the cursor is
placed at the beginning of that occurance.

If the search string is not found, then the text view is left unchanged after
the * character disappears. The search string can be cleared by entering an
empty string after typing ''Foenix+f'' or by typing ''Foenix+u''. If the search
string is cleared the text ''SRCH'' in the bottom right corner disappears.
