Bug Description
How to reproduce:
1. Run `echo hello world` (without the backticks)
2. Press Ctrl-Shift-F
3. Press E
4. Click Find repeatedly
When going back through the history, this only shows the first match on each line. That is, "h*e*llo world", then "*e*cho hello world", then whatever is above that line in the history.
Expected behavior: Show every match (possibly non-overlapping) on each line. . That is, "h*e*llo world", then "echo h*e*llo world", then "*e*cho hello world", then whatever is above that line in the history. This is very useful when searching through for example the enormous output of a build program, or when looking for duplicate occurrences of strings. Since the opposite use case is probably also common, it would be nice if this were an option.
