Funnily enough, I spent the last weekend implementing search in Ghostty using Claude. There's already a kinda working implementation of the actual searching, so most of the job was just wiring it up to the UI. After two sessions of maybe 10 hours in total, I had basic searching with highlighting and go to next/previous match working in the Linux frontend. The search implementation is explicitly a work in progress though, so not something that's ready for general use.

That said, it certainly made me appreciate the complexity of such a "basic" feature when I started thinking about how to make this work when tailing a stream of text.
