2 in page search features I would like to see

I love Opera's search within page function it is well executed and good looking, however it is missing two features I liked when using SRware Iron. (A Chrome knockoff)

I would l like it if it also said how many results for example the current result selected would say "12/14"

Also in Iron when using the search function it also shows you on the scroll bar where results are located.

Here is a screenshot showing what I am suggesting if you look in the upper right you can see the number of results and on the right on the scroll bar the locations of the results, it doesnt look very useful on this particular screenshot but that is because of the overwhelming number of results.
(as you can see from the screenshot Opera's search is much better looking)

The scrollbar highlight is a bit useless, but the number of results can be useful. +1

I wouldn't say this. In the screenshot, yes. But on a long page with only a hand full of matches it really helps to get an overview! (This is also found in many programming IDEs for a reason)

(If nothing else stated the most current weekly) on a nice Dell Studio XPS 16!

Interesting suggestions, and I'm trying to think when they'd be really useful...but I'm not sure.

I think it WOULD be handy to mimic Opera Mini when highlighting the last instance on the page to HIGHLIGHT the FIND bar in yellow. Currently, if you're cmd+G or clicking-next and before realizing you may be at the bottom of the page, it fips up to the top again.

Actually, I think adding both the YELLOW for last instance, and RED highlight for no instance like OM5, would be handy.

+1 for the number of hits and current highlighted hit
+1 for the scrollbar position (Keep in mind some webpages are VERY long and you only might get few hits, I can image this to be very usefull!!!)
