[Github-comments] [geany/geany] "Match m of N" in the status bar when searching (#2159)

Possibly, but its not going to be trivial.  I actually wasn't being sarcastic about redesigning it, I _know_ how browsers work, (you didn't need to provide an example :) and I often find it useful. But I don't see how it will work with regexen, running a partial regex simply isn't useful, so both approaches will need to exist.

I also find the marking of matches in the scroll bar to be useful (on Chrome, it doesn't seem to happen on your Tiredfox image above).  

Also some thought about how it works with replace, or does that stay as it is?

As I said pull requests or maybe design suggestions first are welcome, but whilst I am interested and will likely find it useful, I won't work on it myself.
