[PD] recursive searching with [text search]

[Liam Goodacre]

People often ask about how to get multiple matches with [text search] (see 
here).
 There are a few ways of doing it but none of them are very optimal, and it 
seems like something that would be much easier and more efficient if it were 
implemented with code.

Would there be any traction for a new feature, say [text search -r], to allow 
for recursive searching?

I keep thinking about that too.  One idea would be to specify a range of
lines to search in, so that one could use the results of the previous search
to start teh next one.

Another would be to output a list of ALL search-matches.

i´d love to have a list output of all matches!
as one immediate benefit, it would make removing duplicate lines in textfiles a 
snap.
