Hello, for adding the search label: My custom dictionary is probably several
hundreds of words in different languages. Knowing where and how the search
works will help users understand how to locate words that have been misspelled
after they realize that they have added an incorrect word. In the work that I
do I take clips from news articles and while not common it does happen where
the news article author makes a typo and a correction has to be files with the
news agency. If I then add a word that is incorrectly spelled and I later
realize this, the quicker and easier that I can locate the word the better.
It's an ease of use change to label the search bar with helpful text find or
search or please enter first x characters to locate. While I know the
functionality now, it would likely help others with such user dictionary
quickly locate items, as when you have such a large one manually scrolling
through entries is difficult with the window slider becoming a small dot.

As for the dialogues never producing an undo: I have a question, is this a
technical limitation or a programming resources limitation? I know that MS Word
does allow you to undo any actions in their spell check dialogue. It is again
an ease of use feature to be able to simply undo spell checker actions rather
than go into the tools menu, then options, then Language, then Writing aids,
then Edit, then find the word and remove it.

I have been running a project since around 2019/2020 and have over 20K
paragraphs which have mostly all been run through the spell checker and it does
sometimes happen that things get added by mistake. I often have to do this
project after hours and when I'm not fully aware/awake, so anything that can
help speed up the process is welcomed.
