Bug 17637

Summary: Some users unable to figure out how to "find next"

Description David-john Burrowes 2001-11-13 23:50:56 UTC 
Two of the three participants that used the "Find..." command in a recent usability study wanted to find more than the first occurrence of 
their string in the current document. However, they could not figure out how to do this. Of course, F3 is bound to a "find next" kind of action 
in the editor, but participants did not think to try F3. Instead, after finding no command in the menu, they used the "Find..." command 
repeatedly.

Recommendation: Add a "Find Next" menu item in the "Edit" menu with the appropriate shortcut.
