Search any buddy in pidgin - independent of the buddy status

As of know , when you type in the name of your buddy in the main window of pidgin , it would highlight your friend only if he is online , again to search him {if he is not online} , then you have to do show off-line buddies , which in-turn shows up a big list {if you have many friends ;) } , then again we have to type his name in the main window then get your buddy info.

Implementation of solution could be , implementation of a search Plug-in or improving the embeded search .
