Details

What about adding an option to "Find in page..." which puts all found matches into a sidebar tab (like Google search results) for easy navigation ? This would be a huge improvement for large HTML/plaintext pages with no or few page navigation links... Functions should include: - Search and put results in "page search sidebar" - Search and append results in "page search sidebar" - Bookmark search results - Search whole frame and/or multiple selected frames/windows
Would be cool, but not for beta1, marking nsbeta1- and future
Keywords: nsbeta1-
Target Milestone: --- → Future
To this feature, we'd probably have to modify the find backend so that it doesn't manipulate and scroll the current selection. We'll also need to add some API that will allow us to return the Document (already being done by sfraser) and range of where in the document the search string was found.

This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state. If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way. If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar). If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state. Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614
