Notzet,

currently i havent implemented that. Just showed that, its needed. If itz gonna be a performace issue, we can just like with the current model of search in this mode of window and change "Next" to "Find Next" and so on.

Two search bars could be confusing. The x button is ugly too.

Performance could be a problem, if you wanted to have a type-as-you-go search, which presumably you do. Currently for the match highlighting (for 'all matches', not the 'current match'), we have to re-render the entire message. That feature would probably have to be removed for the interactive search (i think we can still have it for the message list search value).

Guys,

I have implemented firefox style search bar in evolution. I have attached a screenshot of that. Of course it works well :- ) (Except the previous button). It also inherits the old issues like, 'doesnt know what to do when preview pane is off' sort of problems.
