Please add a Search function similar to GNOME Terminal

[RayFoulk]

Please add the ability to search the scrollback buffer (backwards or forwards) similar to how GNOME Terminal does. Optional regex feature would be nice, but simple substring match will do the job. Note the standard approach of piping stdout to grep is insufficient for my purposes.

lxterminal tends to be minimalist. It does support a right-click "Clear Scrollback"; would a right-click "Select All Scrollback" (allowing a "Ctrl-C" copy) help?

I think it would be a reasonable feature to implement if done so in a lean way (minimal GUI and code), I'll keep open and try my hand at it. There are pretty major changes needed to accommodate obsoleted gtk3 functions before I can get to it though.
