Description mbien 2008-12-05 19:29:20 UTC 
The search and replace dialog could be easily merged with the FireFox like "realtime" search.

proposal:
-add a button to ctrl+f search to expand the single row search bar to a two row search bar
-the second row would contain the remaining controls required for search&replace functionality
-the unified search bar should not disappear on focus loss (there is already a close button but currently without a real
purpose)

no further changes required:
-ctrl+f opens search in single row mode
-ctrl+h in two row mode with search&replace functionality
