Public bug reported:

When specifying a short waiting time or 0, the find operation only makes
one search trial and then returns.

But in case of not found, it returns only after the step time, that is
given for repeated searches by the WaitScanRate (3.0 as standard, which
evaluates to a minimum elapse time of 0.3 seconds).

So if you have a very fast positive search of lets say below 0.01
seconds, the FindFailed situation always returns after the elapse time
(standard 0.3 seconds).

Since exists(image, 0) is mainly used in decision situations,

***** It would be desirable 
that even if the search fails, exists() should return latest after the given wait time, if the search is done faster.
If 0 is given, this should lead to that exists() returns immediately after completing the search.

** Summary changed:

- [request] exists(image, 0) should return immediately even if pattern not found
+ [request] exists(image, 0) should return immediately even if pattern is not found
