Subject: [PATCH] Stop previous search before new one (#66).

If there is an active search with highlighted matches and the user uses `#` or
`*` to start a new search for marked text, the old hightlights where kept but
the search uses the marked text. Now a possible previous search is stopped
before the new one is started.
