According to the patch description this patch does
the following:

[...]
Add checkboxes "Find first entry" and
"Recursive search" in MC find dialog
[...]

First of all the text "Find first entry" is misleading.
At first I thought that the idea was that it will match
the first file given a pattern and will stop. When I
looked at the patch I saw that what you meant is that
turning on this option will stop the scan of the file
contents once a match is found. I hope someone from
the other developers on this list will help with naming
this option properly. Next, I noticed that with your
patch the scan will not really stop after a match is
found - the code will keep reading the file till his end.
