another safari 1.0 complaint

to search for a word within a page you're at, you can hit command-f and type in the word then enter. Then you can hit command-g and it'll find the next occurrence of the word. If you hit it again, the next, and so on. The earlier builds of Safari would not make any action for the first time you hit command-g and were at the last occurrence of the word on the page, then, on the second time, would go back to the top and go through all the occurrences again. Internet explorer (if i recall correctly) even gives you a dialog that says, "would you like to continue searching from the beginning of the page" or smthg. like that. Safari 1.0, however, just starts back up at the top again after it gets to the bottom. This can be a real pain, esp. if you're going through a page that is fairly repetitive and searching for one word of which there are multiple occurrence, you sometimes don't even notice you're going in circles until the 3rd time around. Does anyone else know what i mean?

    Most apps that return the find to the top beep when they do so.

    Oh it gets worse. I've heard rumors that from now on, each version of Safari will abbreviate every occurrence of the word "something" with "smthg." Imagine that...

    Are you running PithHelmet? I've found that PithHelmet slows down 1.0 much, much more than it does some of the betas... try turning off content collapsing. It may just be Safari 1.0, too. I don't know, since I've always been running PithHelmet. The author says he's working on a complete re-write but it will take some time. \
