justerm_core/term/search.rs
1//! The search query surface: finding matches across the whole buffer, and holding
2//! the highlight set the consumer hands back so it rides the frame.
3//!
4//! The engine-finds / consumer-navigates split this implements is stated once, in
5//! [`crate::search`] — do not restate it here, and read it there.
6//!
7//! What is worth saying at *this* site is why one private method lives in a query
8//! module but is called eight times from the write path. `invalidate_search_highlights`
9//! drops the held set rather than re-anchoring it, because a held match is
10//! **query-derived**: the engine keeps matches, not the query, and the set itself may
11//! have changed under the mutation. The selection is the contrast, and it is not a
12//! clean one — it is re-anchored where it can be, and *cleared* where it cannot (both
13//! alt swaps set `selection = None` on the line above the call, since neither buffer's
14//! coordinates mean anything in the other). So the rule is about what is
15//! **reproducible by the consumer**, not about re-anchoring always being available.
16//!
17//! Visibility: the seven entry points are public API and stay `pub fn` — an inherent
18//! impl's methods are reached through the type, not the module path, so a private child
19//! module does not hide them. `invalidate_search_highlights` takes `pub(super)` because
20//! its callers are the write path in `term.rs`; `word_bounded` stays private because its
21//! only caller came with it.
