Search feature

[ramkumarkb]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the great & useful project!

How would one go about adding a search feature to this - useful in situations when one is trying to ascertain if a particular character exists within the font-file? General direction / tips should be sufficient and then I can give you a PR.

Thank you,

Here's a couple forks you could look at (either to use instead, or as a base to PR into this repo):

• GabrieleMessina/CharacterMap: has a search bar, but could use some work on the UI and doesn't have a way to cancel a search (also, needs to be deployed locally to use)
• joeuy/CharacterMap: can use ctrl/cmd + F to do a search, but doesn't show thumbnail previews for OpenType characters
