Details

When "Find in this page" is successful, it scrolls the page just enough to show and highlight the found text. I would like it to show a little bit of context - i.e. to scroll the page a bit more to show perhaps 3 lines of what's above and below the found text; it could even go so far as to vertically center the found text within the window (if possible, of course). I currently find myself very often scrolling up or down after the search to see if I've found what I wanted and then continuing the search. This might eliminate these scrolls. (Using 1.2b on Win98 but this is most probably cross-platform.) I would also like the Find window to move out of the way so that the found text is immediately visible, but that should probably be another bug???
