## Summary of the Pull Request
Debugging our custom UIA providers has been a painful experience because outputting content to VS may result in UIA Clients getting impatient and giving up on extracting data.
Adding tracing allows us to debug these providers without getting in the way of reproducing a bug. This will help immensely with developing accessibility features on Windows Terminal and Console.
This pull request additionally contains payload from #4526:
* Make GetVisibleRanges() return one range (and add tracing for it).
`ScreenInfoUiaProvider::GetVisibleRanges()` used to return one range per line of visible text. The documentation for this function says that we should return one per contiguous span of text. Since all of the text in the TermControl will always be contiguous (at least by our standards), we should only ever be returning one range.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
`UiaTracing` is a singleton class that is in charge of registration for trace logging. `TextRange` is used to trace `UiaTextRange`, whereas `TextProvider` is used to trace `ScreenInfoUiaProviderBase`.
`_getValue()` is overloaded to transform complex objects and enums into a string for logging.
`_getTextValue()` had to be added to be able to trace the text a UiaTextRange included. This makes following UiaTextRanges much simpler.
## Validation Steps Performed
Performed a few operations when under NVDA/Narrator and manually checked the results.
## Summary of the Pull Request
We used to return multiple text ranges to represent one selection. We only support one selection at a time, so we should only return one range.
Additionally, I moved all TriggerSelection() calls to the renderer from Terminal to TermControl for consistency. This ensures we only call it _once_ when we make a change to our selection state.

This is the PR for feature Search: #605
This PR includes the newly introduced SearchBoxControl in TermControl dir, which is the search bar for the search experience. And the codes that enable Search in Windows Terminal.

These functionalities are included in the search experience.
1. Search in Terminal text buffer.
2. Automatic wrap-around.
3. Search up or down switch by clicking different buttons.
4. Search case sensitively/insensitively by clicking a button. S. Move the search box to the top/bottom by clicking a button.
6. Close by clicking 'X'.
7. Open search by ctrl + F.
When the searchbox is open, the user could still interact with the terminal by clicking the terminal input area.
While I already have the search functionalities, currently there are still some known to-do works and I will keep updating my PR:
1. Optimize the search box UI, this includes:
1) Theme adaptation. The search box background and font color
should change according to the theme,
2) Add background. Currently the elements in search box are all
transparent. However, we need a background.
3) Move button should be highlighted once clicked.
2. Accessibility: search process should be able to performed without mouse. Once the search box is focused, the user should be able to navigate between all interactive elements on the searchbox using keyboard.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
To test:
1. checkout this branch.
2. Build the project.
3. Start Windows Terminal and press Ctrl+F
4. The search box should appear on the top right corner.
* Make search a shared component for conhost and terminal
* Remove inclusion of deprecated interface file
* Code review changes, remove text buffer modification in Terminal
* remove unreferenced objects to fix build errors
* Fix test failure, guarantee uiaData object is correctly initialized in Search
* minor comment typo fix and format fix
* minor PR comments change
* ColorSeclection directly throw and return
* remove coordAnchor initialization
* minor method signature change
Refactors the accessibility providers (ScreenInfoUiaProvider and UiaTextRange) into a better separated model between ConHost and Windows Terminal.
ScreenInfoUiaProviderBase and UiaTextRangeBase are introduced. ConHost and Windows Terminal implement their own versions of ScreenInfoUiaProvider and UiaTextRange that inherit from their respective base classes.
WindowsTerminal's ScreenInfoUiaProvider --> TermControlUiaProvider
**The Basics of Accessibility**
- [What is a User Interaction Automation (UIA) Tree?](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automation/ui-automation-tree-overview)
- Other projects (i.e.: Narrator) can take advantage of this UIA tree and are used to present information within it.
- Some things like XAML already have a UIA Tree. So some UIA tree navigation and features are already there. It's just a matter of getting them hooked up and looking right.
**Accessibility in our Project**
There's a few important classes...
regarding Accessibility...
- **WindowUiaProvider**: This sets up the UIA tree for a window. So this is the top-level for the UIA tree.
- **ScreenInfoUiaProvider**: This sets up the UIA tree for a terminal buffer.
- **UiaTextRange**: This is essential to interacting with the UIA tree for the terminal buffer. Actually gets portions of the buffer and presents them.
regarding the Windows Terminal window...
- **BaseWindow**: The foundation to a window. Deals with HWNDs and that kind of stuff.
- **IslandWindow**: This extends `BaseWindow` and is actually what holds our Windows Terminal
- **NonClientIslandWindow**: An extension of the `IslandWindow`
regarding ConHost...
- **IConsoleWindow**: This is an interface for the console window.
- **Window**: This is the actual window for ConHost. Extends `IConsoleWindow`
- `IConsoleWindow` changes:
- move into `Microsoft::Console::Types` (a shared space)
- Have `IslandWindow` extend it
- `WindowUiaProvider` changes:
- move into `Microsoft::Console::Types` (a shared space)
- Hook up `WindowUiaProvider` to IslandWindow (yay! we now have a tree)
### Changes to the WindowUiaProvider
As mentioned earlier, the WindowUiaProvider is the top-level UIA provider for our projects. To reuse as much code as possible, I created `Microsoft::Console::Types::WindowUiaProviderBase`. Any existing functions that reference a `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` were virtual-ized.
In each project, a `WindowUiaProvider : WindowUiaProviderBase` was created to define those virtual functions. Note that that will be the main difference between ConHost and Windows Terminal moving forward: how many TextBuffers are on the screen.
So, ConHost should be the same as before, with only one `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`, whereas Windows Terminal needs to (1) update which one is on the screen and (2) may have multiple on the screen.
🚨 Windows Terminal doesn't have the `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` hooked up yet. We'll have all the XAML elements in the UIA tree. But, since `TermControl` is a custom XAML Control, I need to hook up the `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` to it. This work will be done in a new PR and resolve GitHub Issue #1352.
### Moved to `Microsoft::Console::Types`
These files got moved to a shared area so that they can be used by both ConHost and Windows Terminal.
This means that any references to the `ServiceLocator` had to be removed.
- `IConsoleWindow`
- Windows Terminal: `IslandWindow : IConsoleWindow`
- `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`
- all references to `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION` were removed. `IRenderData` was used to accomplish this. Refer to next section for more details.
- `UiaTextRange`
- all references to `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION` were removed. `IRenderData` was used to accomplish this. Refer to next section for more details.
- since most of the functions were `static`, that means that an `IRenderData` had to be added into most of them.
### Changes to IRenderData
Since `IRenderData` is now being used to abstract out `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION`, I had to add a few functions here:
- `bool IsAreaSelected()`
- `void ClearSelection()`
- `void SelectNewRegion(...)`
- `HRESULT SearchForText(...)`
`SearchForText()` is a problem here. The overall new design is great! But Windows Terminal doesn't have a way to search for text in the buffer yet, whereas ConHost does. So I'm punting on this issue for now. It looks nasty, but just look at all the other pretty things here. :)
* Removed using namespace directive from header files and put these in cpp files where they are used
* Fixed tabbing issues by replacing them with spaces.
Also regrouped the using directives.
* Update src/host/exemain.cpp
