I worked around this by binding Command+F to live search, and Command+Option+F to the old search dialogue box (i.e.: the exact opposite of how they're bound right now). In my day-to-day use of BBEdit, I use simple text searching far more often than regexes. I prefer having my windows as un-cluttered as possible. I currently have the navigation bars turned on, everything else turned off. When I press Command+F, the live search bar appears. Then when I'm finished with the search I just hide it again. I'm not sure that I'd enjoy having my precious vertical real estate taken up with an interface element I only use occasionally. My only niggle about live search is that it doesn't give the same visual effects as Safari's does. I love the greying-out of the page with the words I'm searching for being un-greyed, with that bouncy-zoom effect of the highlight as it goes from found word to found word (when you press Command+G or click "<" or ">" in the live search bar). Am I a sucker for special effects, or am I a User Experience connoisseur? ;) Not to say that live search in BBEdit isn't amazingly useful :) Thank you, Bare Bones Software programmers, for a wonderful editor!
