```
server.interactive.Server.find_window(self, client: Option<&Client>, search: &str) -> Result<(), Error>
```

Open tmux's window finder for a search string.

This is separate from [`Server::choose`] because it needs something to
search for, where the other choosers list what already exists. Like them
it opens in a pane rather than on a client, so it needs no client and
leaves the pane in `tree-mode` on a server nothing is attached to.

# Errors

Returns [`Error::ServerMismatch`] when the client belongs to another
server, or an error when tmux refuses the command. A missing client is
not one: this does not need one.
