An optional search-and-replace find interface inside a view, usually a scroll view.

The class serves as a controller for the standard Cocoa find bar. The NSTextFinder class interacts heavily with a client object which supports the NSTextFinderClient protocol. The client object provides access to the content being searched and provides visual feedback for a search operation.
All menu items related to finding (Find…, Find Next, Find Previous, Use Selection for Find, etc.) should have the same action, performTextFinderAction:, which gets sent down the responder chain in the standard method.
