Firefox's incremental search feature does it much better than Emacs. When an incremental search is failing, it doesn't just add the word "Failing" onscreen. It also changes the search text entry field to have a bright red background. This attracts the eye to see that the search is failing. Should I file a bug to request that Emacs do the same?
