I believe this feature was already implemented, but it is only available from the "/" on the main keyboard. In vim, both / and the / on the keypad trigger the search function. I believe this behaviour could/should be replicated.

TL;DR: Trigger search by using the / on the keypad.

@fteixeira, I don't know, why

Trigger search by using the / on the keypad.

does not works for me, but searching in Index mode is very useful, I think.

I :map [Index] focus_inputbar and hit /<search_term> to search inside Index mode, but this performed a search in main view, where the document is displayed.

I also noticed, that Presentation mode also does not have search-ability, and command prompt, generally, like in Index mode. It would be nice, if :, /, ? hotkey will be implemented in all modes, because it is written in the documentation and it is confusing.

Bump? Not having this is very frustrating.

If this is added, it may make sense to interlink it with full-text search. Especially if the number of occurrences were shown (as is in vim as [4/12] showing the 4th of 12 matches), it could in parallel show the matches in the other category, so that a user who looks in one but it is to be found in the other gets a quick visual indication that there are results that were just not found with this particular search method.
