We have modeled the Inspect search provisions on those provided by the 'less' pager. With this commit we take the next step and provide for highlighting any strings matched (and in view). Of course, top will continue to adjust the beginning column so as to bring out-of-view matches into view, while highlighting visible matches. However, top won't emulate every 'less' behavior since the following are seen as flaws in the user interface. * when viewing true binary data, less makes no attempt . to smooth the right margin by truncating unprintable . symbols, thus creatng ragged unappealing right edges * when viewing true binary data, less will always fail . search requests regardless of surrounding characters * less refuses to bring out-of-view found matches into . view by adjusting the left-most column, if necessary (now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one) (everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck) Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
