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!
