This is not a bug, but an improvement suggestion that's very very simple-  

The Go button (that is currently only for the URL field) could be used to
initiate the search for the Fast Find field if the field is active.    

Also- If something is already typed in this field a new search could begin upon
 making a selection of which engine to search with.  (ie. type in "tennis
balls", scroll to ebay, and when the selection is made (when the mouse comes
off) an ebay search automatically begins) 

These are two almost pathetically small tweaks, but I believe it would really
help streamline the searching process.

Thanks for your time.  Keep up the awesome work.

I think it's going to be confusing. The go button is on the top "navigation"
toolbar and the find bar is at the bottom.

I've chosen the wrong terms, which has confused the message. (I wasn't talking
about the find bar)  I've done a quick mock-up to illustrate what I'm saying
much more clearly.  Go here: http://members.optushome.com.au/matbrady1/2ideas

-> Search component

I think this is already implemented as an extension.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
