I have applied the patch and broke the unit circle. Circles are avoided to
get a simpler unit hierachy. I also added the history of 'find', although
the handling can be improved.

To the message window:
The message window is good place for now. 
It is planned to add a special "Search result" window. This window will
support highlighting, updates and context information. This way search
results are not lost on every simple source error. Also it can be extended
to show context information, like a few lines in front and behind the found
place. This will be useful especially for the search of identifiers and
renaming of identifiers/code.
