[Gtk-sharp-list] Searching a specific string in a TreeStore?

[Andrew York]

I mormally set the search for value at the class level then check for it 
in the TreeModelForeachFunct like this:
         public void DoSearch(string searchstring)
         {
             _SearchForValue = searchstring;
             MyListStore.Foreach(new TreeModelForeachFunc(ForeachSearch));
         }

         private string _SearchForValue = string.Empty;
         private int _SearchColumn = 1;
         private bool ForeachSearch(Gtk.TreeModel model, Gtk.TreePath 
path, Gtk.TreeIter iter)
         {
             if(_SearchForValue == MyListStore.GetValue(iter, 
_SearchColumn).ToString())
             {
                 // do what you need to do with the found value or row
                 return true;
             }
             return false;
         }
