"Reached end of page, continued from top" message is not enough. It should be
possible to disable the search wrap feature - to search the page only once. 
Try to search in a long document - you just don't want to check the bottom of
window all the time and it's annoying to find you are going through it 3rd time...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load a long www page or local html document (I'd suggest the php manual)
2.Search for word that exists at least twice in the document (recommend 10+)
3.Keep clicking Find Next and concentrate on the context (as usual when you're
looking for st particular) until you get the "deja-vu" feeling and realize
you're moving in circles.



Expected Results:  
If a word wrap option was available - and was disabled, the search would not
continue, perhaps a dialogue window could appear saying that end of page was reached
