This threat is an attempt to share experiences with Advanced F&R
as a replacement of Simple F&R. I think this might be a necessary
replacement due to for the user non-obvious severe limitations of
Simple F&R, e.g.
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11462
My tests are on Windows 10 1809.
1) One set of problems is the limited/buggy resizing capability
of the Widget. The following may be related.
1.1) If docked to the bottom, it takes too much vertical space
(cannot be resized to a reasonable size).
1.2) After it has been docked to the bottom, it takes too much
horizontal space when docked to the side.
1.3) The undocked state (vertical or horizontal) depends on the
last docked state rather than the best orientation for its size.
For example, in the Code Preview this works much better.
2) It is a universal feature of find dialogs/widgets that on the
command to open them (Ctrl+F or via the menu), all text in the
find field gets selected. This makes a lot of sense if one wants
to do repeated searches. (See also
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10235 for more details.)
3) At times there are multiple cursors visible: when opening
Advance F&R for the first time, when hovering over an inset.
4) The Outliner gets locked when the cursor is in the Search or
Replace field (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11548).
5) On continue from the beginning, the document scrolls to the
beginning when no search word is found
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11551).
6) The space in the first line of Advanced F&R is unnecessarily
limited due to indentation (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11555).
7) Advanced Find and Replace overwrites format with default
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11565)
8) Advanced F&R is still seriously broken under macOS, making the cursor
stuck in the Advanced F&R widget (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11116).
9) Advanced F&R cannot find and replace mere spaces
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11599).
