--- Comment #15 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Hmm, lets count them up:

Functional shortfalls
1. always performs a 'find all', with no 'next' 'previous'
2. always performs transliterated string search, no 'Match Case'
3. no button link to the full 'Find and Replace...' dialog
4. no results infobar 'Search key found # times'

UI short falls
1. the find returns the matches embedded in a wall of text, with brackets
around the match rather than highlights
2. the string enclosing the match is unpredictable, should use a ICU break
iterator to start and end result string on sentence, or a clause break
3. for matches too numerous to fit, truncate the Content deck list box to
single line--no wrap, each match centered in the content panel
4. mouse click navigation between the matches, just cursor U,D button movement;
content panel needs same Navigate buttons as the Navigator
5. when matches span more than one page, the on page visual highlights alone
don't give sufficient feedback--need match details (maybe Para, Page, Document)
as a content panel.
