[ Small linguistic point: "search" = "durchsuchen"; "search for" =
"suchen".]

I disagree profoundly.  This would interact with other idly timed
functions, some of which might well already be fontifying up to the bits
being searched.  The font locking code is already very complicated, and
this extra complication would make it very difficult indeed to debug.

I think the function should be run from the after-change hook, brute
force fashion.  Should it prove too slow[*], then would be the time to
implement a more sophisticated strategy.

[*] I have a 166 MHz PC, available for testing for "too slow".
