OK, here is an answer. >If it wasn't needed, why would IE include it? Because IE (or FireFox, or any other browser) is not Chrome, it has many unnecessary\non user friendly options and a cluttered user interface. Chrome tries to avoid that.
I understand your need and I agree - it would be a nice feature to have. But I do not think it is as necessary as you present it. I never saw anyone (non dev) uses this option. Granted, I am living in Israel, so not everyone here uses English\roman letters rapidly and that might be a reason for me not to see it around at all. Also, the design is already there, I cannot see a way to make the find box any simpler or more friendly than it is now, which is something they are trying hard to keep. Being here long enough, I would think that Chrome developers think that almost any addition to the user interface would probably be considered a clutter, which is also a reason for my response. If it is not a must, it would probably not get in. I am not an authority here, or anything like that. I just try to help. My opinions do not always matter (if at all) and there were times where the Chrome developers completely contradicted my opinions - this is how it should be. ☆PhistucK On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 01:38, 4Jonah <[email protected]> wrote: > > If it wasn't needed, why would IE include it? > > I need it often.
