Repeatedly searching text in a document via Ctrl-Shift-F ("Repeat search") or
the "Find" button:
When the end of the document is reached, a modal message box pops up saying so,
and asking if the search should be continued at the beginning of the document.
I claim that in nearly all searches, people will answer this question with
"Yes". This is because the current position in the document, and the expected
location of the next place to find the text, are pretty accidental for search
purposes, and the probability of the first being above the second is equal to
the one of the second being above the first.
So, this dialog box has no real use in nearly all cases => remove it.
If the information that the end of the document was passed is really of any
relevance, then put a text into the status line "end of document passed", or
something like this (which is what all other good text editors do :)
