Our current find dialog isn't much clearer than a search bar: [image: image.png] For comparison, here's what the search bar in the current PR looks like on Windows: [image: image.png] ISTM a button like "Find Next" would indeed help. I'm thinking having two buttons, and up and down arrow, for "find next" and "find previous" respectively. Also, I think tooltips could help new users understand things. The "Reg-Exp" search flag could perhaps benefit from a "help" button, which would open some info about the syntax. Thoughts? - Tal
