This addresses a review comment left by tusharsnx in #17092 which I
forgot to fix before merging the PR. The fix itself is somewhat simple:
Terminal::SetSearchHighlightFocused triggers a scroll if the target
is outside of the current (scrolled) viewport and avoiding the call
unless necessary fixes it. To do it properly though, I've split up
Search::ResetIfStale into IsStale and Reset. Now we can properly
detect staleness in advance and branch out the search reset cleanly.

Additionally, I've taken the liberty to replace the IVector in
SearchResultRows with a direct const std::vector& into Searcher.
This removes a bunch of code and makes it faster to boot.

Validation Steps Performed

  • Print lots of text
  • Search a common letter
  • Scroll up
  • Doesn't scroll back down ✅
  • Hold enter to search more occurrences scrolls up as needed ✅
  • showMarksOnScrollbar still works ✅

won't oldResults be empty if we aren't invalidating? i guess I don't understand

You mean what happens if IsStale() returned false and we didn't call Reset()?
TriggerSearchHighlight is basically a "refresh all these areas" call. Normally we need to refresh all current areas, which is why oldResults is empty. It gets the current areas directly from IRenderData (previously set by SetSearchHighlights). During a reset oldResults contains the previous areas as well, since those aren't highlighted anymore = dirty.

Now that I think about it, I think we could also just remove the parameter to TriggerSearchHighlight and simply call it once before calling Reset() (= invalidate all the old highlights) and then once after (= all the new and current highlights).

Nice 😃

TriggerSearchHighlight() also isn't completely correct in that the old highlights are supposed to be invalidated w.r.t old line renditions, but we currently don't store old line renditions so we're just using the current line renditions. I'm sure this can be fixed with buffer snapshot based rendering where we would pass in the line rendition from the current snapshot of the buffer that render engine has access to.

No, actually the comment is correct, but the boolean logic inside the function is very difficult to read. Basically, if resetOnly is true then if (searchInvalidated || !resetOnly) is only entered if searchInvalidated is true. If searchInvalidated is true then only Reset() will be called.
