Personally I don't like having the backwards button before the search text because the mouse has to move further when jumping between matches. I don't think it's necessary for the tab order to jump to the forward button first because you can just press enter in the search field anyway. > Also, I still think it would be good to visually indicate when you're > in search backward mode.

If we implement this it might as well be on by default IMO. > It would also be nice if the bubble help for the search field > indicated that there is a search backward available. Perhaps, but with the Backwards button this should be pretty clear.
