hide-ifdef-mode and text search

[Kin Cho]

Hi,

How do I prevent hidden #ifdef regions from matching a search
(incremental or viper-search)?

I'm thinking of advicing search-forward etc... to be aware of
hidden text properties -- but this seems like a wheel that I
don't want to reinvent.

Thanks.

Doesn't searching ignore invisible text by default, and there is
reveal-mode to tell it to look at the invisible text?

Hm.

I'm mistaken, hideif uses selective-display, not invisible
property.

When I have time, I'll try changing hideif to use invisible
property and that should work properly with searching as you
suggested.
