If I'm reading at 75% of the page, it is not too unlikely that I'm interested on search results starting from that position. <br><br>And, last not least: It would be great, if it the "search as you type" behavior could be disabled. Image you want search the last occurence of the string 'Answer' before the current position. The likelihood of "search as you type" taking you somewhere at the begin of the after you typed "Ans" is 1, forcing you to search starting from the top until you passed you previous position, finally being able to search upward. <br><br>I've not subscribed to the dev-apps-firefox mailing list, so I would very much appreciate when you would cc me in an ongoing discussion. <br><br>Thanks in advance. <br><br>Sincerely <br>Norbert Junghenn <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
