Hi Sebastien, I assume that you did not even look at the code before commenting. If code is more concise and runs faster... there is no interest? It uses UTF-8 functions but I don't have experience with other languages outside of English. I don't know how to test with other languages. Admittedly, I don't have all things figured out. Maybe there is a bug in the code. If there is no interest, that is OK with me. Not many people even look at search algorithms. I find it interesting.

Is the performance of gtk_text_iter_forward_search() a problem for your application? Or you just wanted to play a little with the code? (Side note: GtkSourceView has a higher-level API for the search and replace, with regex support. If you're working on the search and replace for an application, this is worth a look.) > Not sure if this a suitable method though. I know > little of the textbuffer internals. UTF-8 gives me some trouble also. This doesn't give us confidence in your code. Bug-free code is more important than better performance at the cost of UTF-8-related bugs. -- Sébastien
