I don't think people want to add an extra "Next match" button, that you have to press 20 times when you have 20 matched items. Besides, the applications you mention perform the search on 1 document, so they are forced to scroll through the document to show all matches, although Adobe Reader has workaround that limitation by showing all results in a sidebar. In nautilus we have the advantage that files are independent and we can float them around as we want (like an ordinary sort by name|type|size) so we don't have that limitation nor want to have it I think. > > The second point is a minor one related to UI, the X in the find bar > needs to be consistent with evince/epiphany.

I cannot tell for epiphany as I don't have it installed but I think the Firefox search bar is the good example to follow, I find it very usable. -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
