           Summary: EFL analyzer needs some love

There are significant users of the ELF analysis capabilities (e.g. for security
vulnerability research). Unfortunately, its usefulness is quite limited.

I noticed the following problems:

- full search returns the binaries which match but the highlighting is missing
completely in the results (with source code search the symbol matching the
search terms is highlighted in bold)
- symbol names cannot be found using 'Definition' search
  - this should be possible using the Shndx as reported by nm(1) (number is
definition, UNDEF is just reference to symbol in another library)
    - the Reference search should use this information so that we can search
for references to symbols
- clicking on the library name leads to unformatted text output

Screenshots which illustrate some of the above problems are attached.
