Thank you for the proposal. I like the consistent naming of using "find next/previous" instead of "search forward/backward" and would be in favor of merging this renaming.
Renames "Search forward", "Search backwards" and "Search all" tooltips to "Find next", "Find previous" and "Find all" to closer match existing naming in search view. Also updates all find/replace overlay tooltips according to Eclipse UI style guide.

Currently, the tooltips for the buttons in the Find/Replace Overlay to find the next / previous / all hits are shown as "Search forward" / "Search backward" / "Search all". The search view however uses the tooltips "Show Next Match" / "Show Previous Match".
To closer align both sets of tooltips, this PR changes the "Search forward", "Search backwards" and "Search all" tooltips to "Find Next", "Find Previous" and "Find All" ("Find" is used here to signal to the user that a search is being executed, unlike in the search view in which all matches are already known).
Additionally, this PR also updates the capitalization of all find/replace overlay tooltips according to the Eclipse UI style guide (see Guideline 1.5). The placeholder texts in the search / replace bar are not changed, as those are already capitalized correctly according to Guideline 1.6.
