This is umbrella task for Search&Replace UI review. Original issue: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18237 UI spec: http://jupiter.czech.sun.com/wiki/view/Lct/SearchAndReplaceOnePagerPromoH
List of issues identified during UI review: 1) P1: Rename "Find in Projects..." to "Find/Replace in Projects...". 2) P1: Search results window should contain "Modify Criteria" button. This button should reopen S&R dialog. 3) P1: Search results window should contain "Replace" nutton. This button should reopen S&R dialog. 4) P1: Please specify also contextual menus on the output result items. 5) P3: If possible, the combo with replacement text should be directly below search combo. I would remove "Replace Matches" checkbox and change the "Replace with:" label to checkbox - it looks self-explaining enough to me. 6) P3: If using checkboxes in Search Results, topmost node "Found XXX matches..." should be a root of checktree allowing select/deselect all occurences at once.
Done.
