When you search for some word by the Find dialog it doesn't end the search.  It
just goes on searching for the word in a loop.  I think the app should tell me
that I have reached the end of the page and now whether I want to search from
top.  Also if there is only one instance of a word in a page, find will be
trapped there and just doesn't respond.  It is right in its place as it is
resting on the only find instance.  Some sort of message at this context would
help avoid confusion.

1. Did you search from the toolbar field or from ctrl+F (or the Edit menu) ?
2. Do you have "wrap" option enabled ?

I used Ctrl + F and Wrap was enabled.  

Now, I find that without wrap the error message is given and also search stops
after going around once, in one direction , either up or down.  Thanks.
