170626 - [rfe] [typeaheadfind] Make Type Ahead Find work more like Phoenix Type Ahead Find

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Find In Page, enhancement)

Description

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

The first time I encountered Type Ahead Find was in Phoenix. When you are typing
a link, it displays the result in the status bar -- bottom center bar, not
really sure what it is called ;)

Anyhow, it displays the search that is in progress, as such:
Link found: "search string"  (url of that page)

Also, when it cannot find a link, it displays:
Link not found: "search string"

When Type Ahead Find is stopped, it displays a message.


If you look closely, when Mozilla attempts a Find, it flashes to the URL of the
result, but that dissapears and is replaced by "Done". To me, the user should be
informed full time as to how the search is progressing.

Owen: What is the Build ID for the Mozilla build that you're trying? Perhaps you
could try a more recent build: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

spam =(
