We added rudimentary searching capabilities to `Browser` widgets based on WebKit and GTK+.
85+
The hotkey to open the search dialog is `Ctrl+F`,
86+
the dialog opens at the bottom left of the client area of the Browser widget. See screenshots below.
87+
88+
The search dialog is closed with `Esc`.
89+
Its also closed when resizing or moving the `Browser` widget or its parent `Shell`.
90+
The dialog can be dragged and will remember its position until such a resize or move.
91+
92+
The search dialog is not available for `Browser` widgets in a `Shell` with the `SWT.TOOL` style.
93+
94+
The search can be disabled globally with the following VM property:
95+
96+
```
97+
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.webkitgtk.disableBrowserSearch=true
98+
```
