Title:
  Better usablity for ctrl-f, then go to next match

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Searching the next match with gedit makes me crazy.

      I press Ctrl+F

      The search input box opens

      I enter foo

      There is a match for foo. Nice

      Up to now everything is sane

      I want to search the next match (with keyboard, not mouse): How?

  For me Enter or ctrl+F (again) would be intuitive.

  But both don't work...

  Am I the only one being confused here?

  Version: Gedit 3.10.4 (default of Ubuntu 14.04)

  Other people agreed, that this is not very useable:

  usability

  Please make "go to next match" work like in e.g. firefox.

  This would make me and other users happy :-)
