GtkTreeView::set_enable_search
Sets whether or not interactive search (also called typeahead find) is enabled for the view. If interactive search is enable, an entry box will appear if a user begins typing while the view has focus. The selection for the view will move to a row matching what the user types.
Even if interactive search is turned off, the user can still initiate a search using the "start-interactive-search" key binding.
