Re: [PATCH] gitk: Highlight found text only for when search type is "containing".

[Mark Burton <markb@ordern.com>]

Hi,

The patch got sent without this blurb (not really sure how to send
patches to the list with leading blurb).

Anyway, I thought I would try and stop gitk from always highlighting
the text in the commit and comment panes that matches the text in the
search field. To me, it only makes sense to highlight the text when the
search type is "containing". For the other search types (definitely
for the touching paths type), I don't really see how having occurrences
of the search text highlighted helps.

I don't really understand how gitk operates but the patch does what I
want. I'm sure those in the know can improve on it if what it does is
useful.

Cheers,

Mark
