Bug Description
I tried the new Qdiff search feature which is nice, but I would like to file some enhancement suggestions, to make it more usable, closer of Find feature in some other applications like Firefox.
- Sometime I have hard time to find the found string highlight in the window. Gray doesn't stand out well. Not sure what is the best way to fix that, though. Using bright red?
- There should be a warning that the typed string cannot be found. Which is related to the first remark: if the highlight is hard to find, it is even harder to know there is no highlight!
- There should be also a warning that search has wrapped, ie. after reaching one end of the document (end, or start), it continue from the other end (start, or end). That would avoid some cases where we loop several times over the same places, if not attentive...
Tested on WinXP Pro SP3, Bazaar 2.3, current Qbzr pull.

Regarding the second point (warning that typed string can't be found), see #772244 and the related branch lp:~abudden/qbzr/find-text-box-red
On a sort-of related note, see #772241.
On the other notes, I agree entirely...
