Research direction

The repository is archived, so no active development. To implement this feature, one would need to understand how the 'find in buffer' function works in Atom and how to extend it to the terminal pane. Look at the source code of the nuclide terminal package and the core find and replace functionality. Consider examining similar features in other IDEs for inspiration.
