[MonoDevelop] Searching

[Lluis Sanchez]

Hi!

I'm sorry, but I don't get your point. Right now Search has a specific
behavior, which is: wrap, no loop (bugs aside). If you want to provide
alternate ways of wrapping, looping its ok to me, as long as it is
configurable and the original behavior is available.
