GtkSearchEntry implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkEditable and GtkCellEditable.
GtkSearchEntry is a subclass of GtkEntry that has been tailored for use as a search entry.
It will show an inactive symbolic "find" icon when the search entry is empty, and a symbolic "clear" icon when there is text. Clicking on the "clear" icon will empty the search entry.
Note that the search/clear icon is shown using a secondary icon, and thus does not work if you are using the secondary icon position for some other purpose.
GtkWidget *         gtk_search_entry_new                (void);
Creates a GtkSearchEntry, with a find icon when the search field is empty, and a clear icon when it isn't.
| Returns : | a new GtkSearchEntry |
