This is a smaller improvement of the org.odftoolkit.odfdom.incubator.search.Navigation Interface.

Using this feature in my own project I recognized that the TextNavigation was not working correctly - especially in case the search pattern occur multiple times in one document or paragraph.

The following example shows how to replace all matches of a regex with a text using the new implementation:

	private void replaceODFTextFragment(OdfTextDocument doc, String pattern, String replace)
			throws InvalidNavigationException {
		try {			
			TextNavigation searchPattern = new TextNavigation(pattern, doc);
			while (searchPattern.hasNext()) {
				OdfElement element = searchPattern.next(); //.getCurrentItem().getElement();
				String text=element.getTextContent();
				logger.info(" Current Item Text="+text);
				element.setTextContent(replace);
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

The method TextNavigation.next() is new and a convenient method for getCurrentItem().getElement();

An important bugfix is in the method setCurrentTextAndGetIndex. This method runs in a outOfBounds Exception in case the pattern length was equals to the replacement text length. This is now also fixed.

I have tested the new code in my own project and it works now perfect - even with text in embedded table cells.

Thank you, Ralph, for this patch fixing the search functionality.
As it was broken earlier the renaming (API change) should not matter to me.
