If you feel like it, you could publish your work on Launchpad as Bazaar branch.

The DocumentView class would surely have to get a more extensive interface to the search and its results, but that seems implied by the first part anyway. But personally, I am not to sure that generating a full-text index of every document opened is really worth it. How would you want to store that index in memory? (IMHO, it should not consume memory if index creation is disabled by a runtime setting. (Maybe it could happen only when the advanced search is activated anyway?)) Even though search is admittedly a bit slow, I think the compromise of always searching the whole document in the background works quite nicely as one usually gets the next results instantaneously after hitting the first result. But let's see where this goes...
