3819	[mcview] Search doesn't grow file as much as needed	egmont	andrew_b	"(Somewhat similar to #3817)

Searching only loads one more additional fragment of the growing file, rather than as much as needed. Hence it often fails to find a match.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Find a big enough file whose contents are ""parsed"" on F3. Maybe a library, or a compressed achive. For example, libboost_thread.so.1.62.0.

2. Open it for viewing by pressing F3.

3. Scroll to the end of the file, and copy a string that appears there, but not earlier in the file. E.g. a pointer value in the aforementioned library.

4. Close the file and open again.

5. Search for this string.

Notice that ""Search string not found"" is reported, and the offset ""8192+"" grows to ""16384+"" in the top bar.

Press 'n' or F7 Enter over and over again, each time the offset grows by another 8192 until eventually the match is located.
