--- Comment #5 from info.ised at gmail.com ---
If the "find next" won't get changed to search from the current page (this is
what people are used to in web browsers and text editors), I suggest an
alternative.

The user now has no way of making the search "a new search" to force it start
on a current page, except by clearing the search box and entering the text
again. This can be fixed by
* An additional option that says "ALWAYS search from current page"
* A "reset search" command (clumsy but still better than now)
* An alternative shortcut (not F3 but something else) for this kind of search

I vote for the first option, I think it is also easy to implement, as the
functionality for searching from the current page already exists, it's just not
always used.
