Hi all
Doing an unsuccessful search using the search dialog currently results in a dialog popping up asking
"searchstring" was not found. Wrap search and find again?
Clicking on the Find button results in a message in the status bar saying "searchstring" not found.
Would it be possible to change the search field background to red in this case, to give additional visual feedback that the search was fruitless? In the same way that the search field in the toolbar does it.
Thanks! Conrad

Done in SVN for the Find and Replace dialogs*, thanks for the suggestion.
To be honest, I didn't test these changes too much, so it might be that there are some glitches though basically it should work. Feedback is welcome :).
* I don't think there is much need to do this for the Find in Files dialog as the search result status in the messages window is enough, IMO.

BTW, one of the things that annoys me the most in Geany is the separation of the Search and Replace dialogs. Why can't this be just one window? Have a button "Find", and that ignores the "Replace With" text field and so on.
