I tried to implement the new WebView-Find()-method in new 
Gambas-Book-app. Due to the different search concept the code of the 
previous WebKit-version had to be rewritten and GUI had to be modified. 
This is OK, but before publishing it I like to sort out this issue:

When I use the new Find() method without <options> it is ignoring the 
case, which is OK. When I use the Find() method with the new constant 
"FindIgnoreCase" as <options> the Find()-method DOES NOT ignore the 
case. This is an inverted (and wrong) logic. The constant should have 
been called "FindCaseSensitive" or just "CaseSensitive". Or is there a 
misunderstanding?

Best regards
