[GTK] FindController: search occurrences not highlighted after loading new page.

I think it's a bug in WebKitFindController:
1. webkit_find_controller_search() is called --> the search occurrences are correctly highlighted.
2. The WebKitWebView loads another page --> the search occurrences are not highlighted in the new page content, but webkit_find_controller_get_search_text() still returns the same search text that was previously set.

As explained in the Devhelp bug, Epiphany is good at avoiding this bug :-)
