Details:

(Just that these issues aren't forgotten)

1. "Search from start" only finds the very first match. If this is intended,
why not call this option "Find first match"?
(That is: I'd suppose "Search from start" would mean s/th like 'for a new
search (string) start looking for the first match at the top of file, for
subsequent matches go down from there'.)

2. "Search backward" doesn't work at all for me. It only finds one match and
stays there.
In case of "Search backward" the other option "Search from start" should morph
into "Search from bottom"?

3. It would be nice to have a 'Not found' message if no match was found.
