I had a look at the part of the code related to searching items. There could be a "quick" patch and have a wrap search, (that I tried and works on my machine). But I think we could do something different (and in my opinion, better): changing the search UI.

I tried to make one, I attached a screenshot.

What do you think we should go for ? simple patch for wrap-search ? Or a UI change with wrap capabilities ?
This UI would allow:
-To go back to the previous item/marker with a "find previous"
-Enable / Disable the wrap search
-Filter the markers (info, warning, error) -> Reading the doxygen I think it is possible, but didn't try yet

I think if we enable a wrap search, we should provide a text field to know when the search stars over

If you prefer the "quick" patch option, I'll upload a .patch file.
