Bug Description

The light grey color for finding an item isn't really discoverable.
Using yellow for example would be better.

I think it is. However I have planned to implement a better finding method using colors too.

As soon as a word is found the background-color of the row becomes light grey (that's ok) but the matched word's background-color shouldn't also be grey. OK it's a bit darker than the row's background-color but if you're coding for hours , you will get tired and the found word won't be that noticeable anymore.

The grey is "not focussed selected" theming in GTK+ 3 and arguably a bug or a broken by design.

They grey color depends on the used style scheme as all other colors. It's the best way to implement that since gtksourceview let you to choose between different style schemes by default.

So it's the style scheme fault. Maybe some improvements to the default style could be done ?
Another possibility would be to take another style scheme as default.

After updating i noticed that Midori is marking the searched words in yellow now thanks for the improvement!
