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.
