Search too often switches cells in edit mode

[parmentelat]

Problem

when using Search dialog to "go to" a match, current behaviour seems to be to unconditionally switch target cell to edit mode if it's a markdown cell (for code cells I'm not quite sure; I can never say for sure when a code cell is in edit mode, as the visual difference between both modes is hardly noticeable for me)

I think I understand that in the case of markdown cells, it is quite possible to have some text appear in the source but not in the rendered version; and this might be the rationale behind this systematic switch to edit mode

however one can argue this approach is very intrusive, esp. as the actual situations where it does happen (that the searched text is present in the source but not rendered) are far from dominant

Proposed Solution

not quite sure how to improve, except that I'd rather have the cell go to edit mode only when necessary..
