No, you're not. I agree, one symbol should not be mapped with different
actions, that's confusing. Although the magnifying glass isn't a very
natural mapping for searching, it is introduced already.

On the other hand, decreasing the font size using a magnifying glass
- even one with a little minus - isn't very obvious to me, too.
I find the A+ A- symbols more plausible.
