Details

When searching within a page, the new searchbar shows "Reached end of page, continued from top." when it starts searching from the beginning again in a very light color. I find that to be too subtle when quickly skimming a document. 

Thus I propose to flash the text (e.g. full black for a moment or two; or any other short animation that draws attention to the search bar) to allow the user to notice the message within his peripheral field of view.
Apparently, this bar is called "findbar". 

Adding the bug that changed the appearance to keep the logic together.

... or change the text input field's color like in the "Phrase not found" case?!

I'm duping this to bug 266338, because it asks for the very same thing... but has waaaaay more history ;-)
