this is not the same feature.

In Microsoft Communicator the search field, filters the list with the
given pattern. In gtktreeview when you type, the focus goes to the
first item that start with the string you enter and theres a way to go
to the next match.

Its very useful to filter the list with a given pattern when you have
a lot of people on your list.
