I apologize in advance for the need to few potentially offensive pictures to
reproduce this bug. There is a 'next' link on each page to view the next picture
in the series. Pressing 't' with FastFind enabled will take you to the 'next'
link, pressing enter selects it. When the next page loads, pressing 't' will NOT
find the 'next' link on the new page. It may take 2-3 tries for it to fail, I'm
not sure of the reason for that. It appears the FastFind is not resetting to the
top of the newly loaded page. Hitting ESC and pressing 't' finds the link correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the url above, or any image on http://themaxx.com/offensive/
2. Press 't' to select 'next', hit 'enter', repeat 2-3 times to see FastFind fail.


Actual Results:  
FastFind reports 'phrase not found'.

Expected Results:  
It should select find the 'next' link as it does on the first page.

This works in every build including the latest of the 0.9 tree. It fails in the
1.0pr and the latest nightly build of the .10 tree.
