New issue 31306 by viettrun...@chromium.org: Find next/previous buttons in  
find bar not enabled/disabled properly
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31306

See <http://codereview.chromium.org/518009> (committed) and also
<http://codereview.chromium.org/500082> (defunct).

Currently, on Windows and Linux, the buttons are enabled all the time (the
first CL mentioned above changed the behaviour on Windows to this).
Apparently, the reason this is preferred over disabling the buttons (when
there are no search results found) is that the state of the buttons isn't
properly updated if loading continues and new search results are found.
(Side note: I believe Mac still has the old, broken disabling behaviour.)

Leaving the buttons enabled is understandably preferable to having
buttons disabled when they shouldn't be (since the former does no harm
whereas the latter takes away functionality from the user). However, it may
be preferable to properly enable/disable the buttons, in particular re-
enable the buttons if new search results are found.
