What prompted my inquiry was that a captured an SNMP walk and was
searching for occurrences of various MIB values, all pre-pended with the
same prefix. I knew the prefix name, but not the specific names, so I
was searching for all the prefix's until one of the interesting MIB
values caught my eye.
I agree that having both a "Find" and a "Find Next" is not necessary,
but the "Find" button possibly be renamed to "Find Next", but no matter
what the button is called, it could function as a "Find Next", without
the dialog disappearing. The behavior I am referring to can be easily
seen with such ubiquitous programs as Microsoft's Internet Explorer,
Word, ...
It's no big deal. Ctrl-N is fine. The current "Find" behavior simply
wasn't what I was expecting.

Hmmm, I don't know if that's a good idea. I've checked some other
programs and none of them had such a feature.
What's the reason to use it anyway? When I'm searching for something,
I'm interested in the first appearance. Having the dialog still open
will usually get it in the way of the things I want to see.
Simply adding a "Find Next" button is a bad idea anyway, as having the
buttons:
"Find" "Find Next" "Cancel"
doesn't seem to be very intuitive.
There are some other questions as well, so I don't like that idea.
