Description Jonny Lamb 2009-10-14 16:59:40 UTC 
When searching for a string, if a match is found which is a link, then it's pretty useful to have that item selected. This enables one to keep one's hands on the keyboard and just press return to open the link which has been found.

I'm sorry to compare to Firefox, but Firefox has this feature in "Quick Search" mode (that is, press "/" or enable auto find as you type mode), and it's pretty useful.

I'd be happy to work on this, but I've no idea how to go about making both the webview and search textbox have focus...
