How can I implement a "Find Next" and "Find Previous" button in the MATLAB Editor?

When using the "Find" feature in the MATLAB Editor, I cannot quickly jump to the next occurrence or previous occurrence of the phrase I am trying to find. I want to use the Find Next button, such as is available in other text editors.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

A "Find Previous" button is not available in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger.

You can find the next word in the MATLAB Editor by opening the Find and Replace dialog through the Edit menu or by typing Ctrl-F. Each time you push the Find button, the next occurrence of the word will be found.

After searching for the word once, close the Find and Replace dialog and use the F3 key to find the next occurrence or Shift-F3 to find the previous occurrence of the word.
