 Epub searching can seem very slow in Browse, at least for large ebooks.
 This may lead to the user clicking the search button more than once,
 wondering why no search result appear, and if a previous search existed,
 actually advancing that instead.

 Reproduction:
  1. Download the epub copy of the novel at
 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/98 and launch it in Browse.
  2. Go to the Edit menu and enter "english" (without the quotes) in the
 search bar.
  3. Press ">" to start the search, making sure to press the button only
 once.  It will take several seconds for the first entry to be highlighted,
 yet the search area does not become grayed out, nor the busy cursor
 appear.
  4. Change the search text to "Charles" and press ">" several times.  You
 will see where "English" is a few more times, followed by a jump all of
 the sudden to where a Charles is found, which may not be the first
 location of the word (perhaps the search for the second term relative to
 where one of the first terms was found - which actually kind of makes
 sense).
