158772 - need find button

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Help Documentation, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

someone decided to make mozilla help pages extremely long.
this is a big problem, because you can search for a topic (print preview) get a
very long page and see *no* evidence of print preview on the page.

this bug is asking for a find button on the toolbar. using it should highlight
found items, jump to the currently found selection ...

timeless: The search tab and other tabs jump to the section related to your
search.  I also see no print preview for help so I'm not exactly sure what you
are wanting.  Please clarify or if it does what you want in recent builds, let
me know.

Clarification from timeless via IRC:
He wants a button bound to the "Find in this Page..." search function that is
currently available from CTRL+F.

moving stuff over to an outside-the-firewall email for the time being, looking
for people to pick these Help and doc bugs up for me.

We'll probably see this once the new help menu goes on the trunk in 1.6a.

Fixed this in the 1.6a Firebird/Thunderbird help that's in development. You
won't see this until the new help menu is checked in.

Brant, can I get a second opinion on this? Think we need more toolbar buttons?

Comment 8

[Brant Gurganus]

there's typeaheadfind so I don't think a find button is necessary

timeless: I don't think that we need to make the toolbar as bloated as Firebird
Help's ;)
