As a result of following @snarkophilus' instructions, I've discovered that Sigil (Qt6) crashes on Linux whenever the "hit enter" step occurs!

Not sure yet if it's related to the latest changes, or if it's Qt6-related, or just something that has gone unnoticed for a while. Since "hit(ting) enter" is unnecessary after typing the search criteria, it's not something I ever do. Immediately hitting "Find" (or ctrl+g, or ctrl+shift+g) is sufficient to go from typing to finding the first occurrence. No need to hit enter in that situation (though it definitely shouldn't crash, either).

I'll work on ruling out (or confirming) Qt6 and/or the recent search changes in 1.9.0/1.9.1 as the cause of the crash.

It would also seem that the "Wrap" checkbox has some effect on the wonkiness experienced when using the keyboard shortcuts for find next/find previous.
