Well, you can use KTE::SearchInterface::searchText(), which is implemented
by KateDocument. However, you'd have to supply the ranges for searching
manually. Is this sufficient for your needs?

BTW, I've started to refactor the search stuff. I'm planning to separate
the business logic from the presentation, which means that searching from
the current cursor position will be available without the search bar.
Unfortunately, due to my university work, my time is currently very
limited. But be prepared that after the sprint this will be finished ;-)

Greetings,
Bernhard
