Build ID: 20130201065344

Steps to reproduce:

Switch keyboard input to another language (Russian in my case) and try to start page search by pressing '/' button (not character). But in the Russian keyboard layout this button responsible for '.' character input. So, the only two ways is to use slash on keypad or to switch to English, push the button and switch back.


Actual results:

"Find on the page" panel does not appear.


Expected results:

It'll be good to have such feature to start search with this ('/') button, not with the character — this looks much suitable or portable or whatever.
