And you probably want the other matches to be highligted too when you are paging up and down through the text, just like vim does? And you would want the current match to be a different color than the other matches, just like in Firefox?

Either when you press enter or in the dynamic case as you type your search-phrase at every key-stroke. Just as it possible in vim when your define the settings:

Mon 29 Oct 2018 03:54:58 PM UTC, comment #1: You are asking that nano, instead of just putting the cursor on the first character of the match, should highlight the entire matched search string? Like it does when you do Search-and-Replace and it asks whether to replace this occurrence?

Corresponding source code
(Highlighting all occurrences when the question in the status bar is "Replace this occurrence?" would be rather confusing.)
Please don't post to closed issues. This is marked wontfix for a reason: it's too complicated to make. But you are free to post a patch (on the devel list) if you have made one.
