Hi, The patch got sent without this blurb (not really sure how to send patches to the list with leading blurb). Anyway, I thought I would try and stop gitk from always highlighting the text in the commit and comment panes that matches the text in the search field. To me, it only makes sense to highlight the text when the search type is "containing". For the other search types (definitely for the touching paths type), I don't really see how having occurrences of the search text highlighted helps. I don't really understand how gitk operates but the patch does what I want. I'm sure those in the know can improve on it if what it does is useful.
