Bug 124634

Description:
To find text in a document, currently one has to use the "find bar".
The find bar will position the cursor at the first occurrence of the search result.

If there are many results, the only way to find the correct one is to look at all results sequentially using "Find Next".

There is no way to see all results together for quick browsing.

I suggest adding the list of search results together with the line where they occur to the navigation pane so that multiple results can be seen at a glance before selecting the correct one.

This improvement will make navigation much quicker and allows to see all lines containing a search term (e.g. TODO) at the same time.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open new document
Enter multiple lines of text :

... insert lots of text and pagebreaks...
TODO: do one thing
... insert lots of text and pagebreaks...
TODO: do another thing
... insert lots of text and pagebreaks...
TODO: do even more

Search using find bar "ctrl+F todo"

Actual Results:
The find bar appears at the bottom of the writer window and the first occurrence of "TODO" is highlighted in the text

Expected Results:
Show all occurrences of "TODO: in the navigation pane on the side together with the full line that contains the results.

Clicking on a result will jump to the occurrence in the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Searching a document by jumping through each occurrence is very inefficient and time consuming when there are many hits.

Microsoft Word has a navigation pane that shows all of the search results together with the context around them. By clicking on a result one jumps to the position in the document.

Here is a picture of the Word navigation pane

This pane makes searching far more efficient.
