Find doesn't tell you upon not getting a match
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Problem: When a match within the page is not found, the Find dialog doesn't respond with a usable message (such as "Term not found" or "Find could not find %word"). How to repeat: 1. Ctrl + F 2. Enter a search term that doesn't exist in the document All you notice when there is no match is that the Next button becomes greyed out. However, the user doesn't get a useful message back (so how would a user know the find failed?). Suggestions for modification: 0. Display a message 1. Upon greying out the Next button, move the default button to the Close button, so if the user hits the Enter/Return key, the find dialog box closes.
