I have added two patches

  1. to give "Whole Word" option to the dialogue and search
  2. Marking the row of the found result in the edit window with inverted background as if selected whole row.

Thanks for the patch; the Whole Word option has been implemented (though in a different way).

Regarding selecting the entire line of a result: Gedit will already highlight the line where the cursor is located (there's an option to enable this), and in my experience that's usually sufficient. Selecting the entire line is IMHO too obtrusive, and also interferes with copy/paste selection. I'm closing this issue now, but if anybody has another reason for adding that feature please open another issue.
