Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.3 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020205
BuildID:    Mozilla 0.9.8
Latest Ximian:  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020212

Usually, when I'm searching for something, I'm interested in the context around
the thing I'm searching for.  However, in galeon, when the search search result
is off-page, the window is scrolled only enough to put the string at the bottom
of the screen.

I think it would be better if the searched-for-string was centered in the window
whenever it's off page, sort of like it's done in emacs.  I'd guess this is what
a lot of Unix users are expecting.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Search for a string that goes off the currently visible page.
2.
3.
(a) Please use the bugzilla helper to learn how to repotr defects well:

(b) This bug database is for mozilla, not galeon.  However, I understand one may
    need to report gecko bugs here but this bug doesn't look gecko-related.  You 
    might consider reporting this bug to the authors of galeon.

(c) I believe you are referring to ``Find in page'', not ``Search''.

Yes, I meant "find in page".  However, the Galeon folks claim this is actually
controlled by Mozilla.  See:
