I think this is a very good idea. I also would like to move the Search the Web
option from the Go menu to this same find submenu so users can find it easier.

I'll take this bug, it's easy to change.

Josh would be nice if you could pitch in and see if it's ok.

i've never seen "move it into a submenu" and "find it easier" ever used in the
same sentence.

hahaha, ok I get the point Mike. Th easier part was more related to the fact
that our 2 search options are now grouped rather then releates to moving it into
a submenu. So maybe not in a submenu but do move search the web to the edit menu?

Safari has a Google Search option, which does the exact same as our 'search the
web', and it is stuck in the top of the Find submenu.

I'm not going to r- the patch because it probably works, but I disagree with
the change so I'm removing the request for a review.

This should not be marked 0.9 as it is far from being a blocker.

I'd like to renew discussion of this bug. Is it really "better" to add a sub 
menu to Find? From a UI standpoint it doesn't seem like it is (ease of use that 
is).

If we maintain a "search the web" link and add the sub menu for the rest of the 
items, will that really solve this? Isn't "find/search in this page" a more 
important feature or one that we'd rather be promoting (you know FAYT). If so, 
we'd need to keep both in the menu. If we have those two, do we need a sub 
menu? Seems like the answer would be no, but I could be wrong.

FWIW, I'm in the WONTFIX camp on this one.  There are not many items in the edit
menu right now, so three grouped "Find" options don't confuse the menu and are
readily available.  Ditto comment 4 :-)

Every other browser I have on my Mac also has its Find options grouped in the
root of the Edit menu, save Safari--which seems to think you need 6(!) different
find options and which therefore need to be hidden in a submenu because of the
clutter.

Let's talk about this for 1.1.

Comment 4 is a classic.  WONTFIX.
