Expected results:

I have suggetion. When I search strings from page and search reached end of page, then Firefox should play sound.

When I searching strings I don't always notice text in the search bar, but when I heard sound then I know that search starts from beginning.

I'm not sure Mozilla is a fan of sound notifications, because it could be disturbing for the user to hear a sound from nowhere. It's more a request for an add-on, I think.

I understand. Does anybody know some kind of add-ons, which have this feature? "Navigational Sounds" is most closer, but no chance to use sound for search -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/navigational-sounds/

Also I will try to contact with James Ross and maybe he have some idea, how to do this, but I don't expect much hope.

This is indeed an good area for an add-on to fill the 'gap'; we won't be implementing playing a sound when the search wraps. A majority of users won't know where it came from and be annoyed.
