That being said, showing occurrences of the word is such a common and fairly
useful feature for an IDE, I'd personally rather see the 3-4 existing
plugins obsoleted by a good implementation in core Geany[1].

Gotta agree, this is so common (even browsers do it) that it should be
an easily found built-in feature, but maybe that just means moving the
Menu->Search->more->mark all menu item?
Apparently it's not the search results highlighting they are talking
about, but dynamic highlight of the current word (which to me is the
same as search result highlighting searching for the word under cursor,
but who knows if there's a subtler thing behind it) -- and I don't know
any browser doing that (nor, for that matter, any application).
I think it's confusing because Geany's Search dialog has a "Mark All"
button which does a similar but slightly different thing (marking based
on search pattern rather than caret position or current selection),
which is basically the thing I think Lex is talking about. I haven't
investigated, but I would think all these are sharing the same
underlying implementation at present, and possibly (but hopefully not)
sharing the same code for how they are cleared :)
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
