HTML doesn't provide a way to do searches of text boxes (textarea's)
in forms. Some browsers allow it, but most don't.
We could potentially create something in JavaScript, but I think
that'd be a fairly significant amount of work to get to work on
a reasonable set of browsers, and there are some browsers where
it simply can't be made to work.
