gtk_source_utils_unescape_search_text (const gchar *text);
Use this function before gtk_source_search_settings_set_search_text(), to
unescape the following sequences of characters: \n, \r, \t and \\.
The purpose is to easily write those characters in a search entry.
Note that unescaping the search text is not needed for regular expression searches.

gchar *
gtk_source_utils_escape_search_text (const gchar *text);
Use this function to escape the following characters: \n, \r, \t and \.
For a regular expression search, use g_regex_escape_string() instead.
One possible use case is to take the GtkTextBuffer's selection and put it in a search entry. The selection can contain tabulations, newlines, etc. So it's better to escape those special characters to better fit in the search entry.
