The next/prev labels are a bit awkward in any case, since "next" finds an earlier commit - one further down the list, and "prev" finds a later commit - one further back in the list. A better solution might be to make images for arrows pointing up and down and use compound buttons so the buttons say Find ^ and Find v (if you image the ^/v as up and down arrows). I also find myself often wanting a "Find first" button, i.e. search starting at the top of the list. Paul.
