We added rudimentary searching capabilities to `Browser` widgets based on WebKit and GTK+.
86+
The hotkey to open the search dialog is `Ctrl+F`,
87+
the dialog opens at the bottom left of the client area of the Browser widget. See screenshots below.
88+
89+
The search dialog is closed with `Esc`.
90+
Its also closed when resizing or moving the `Browser` widget or its parent `Shell`.
91+
The dialog can be dragged and will remember its position until such a resize or move.
92+
93+
The search dialog is not available for `Browser` widgets in a `Shell` with the `SWT.TOOL` style.
94+
95+
The search can be disabled globally with the following VM property:
96+
97+
```
98+
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.webkitgtk.disableBrowserSearch=true
99+
```
