            Bug ID: 152860
           Summary: Find toolbar's "placeholder for message"
                    (.uno:SearchLabel tooltip / label) makes it sound like
                    something is missing
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2 all versions
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: minor
          Priority: low
         Component: UI

Following the fix for bug 85952, we have the label "[placeholder for message]"
for the message area of the Find toolbar.

Steps:
1. Open Writer or Calc
2. Ctrl + F to open the Find toolbar
3. Search for a term that is not in the document
4. Hover over the message

Result:
Label is "[placeholder for message]". It makes it look like we forgot to fill
in a placeholder for a proper label.

Expected result:
We need a better label to describe what this area does.

Extra info:
This toolbar area can hold messages like:
* "Reached the [end|beginning] of the document"
* "Search key not found"
* "Search key found x times" (in Writer, when using Find All)

The same label is used in the Customise dialog and in the toolbar's context
menu.

I suggest something generic like "Information" or "Message" but interested in
other suggestions that are more specific to what .uno:SearchLabel does.
