Malik,

Yes, I can confirm that it's rather counterintuative.  Ubuntu 18.10,
Chromium here.  Cntrl-F in the query window causes the *Search: *bar to
appear.  Doing *anything* other than clicking in the text box to the right
of the *Search:* will cause the search bar to disappear.  Entering text
into that text box and hitting the enter key will *also* cause that Search
bar to disappear and it will scroll to the first instance of the result (if
it isn't already on the screen and highlight all matches. Cntrl-G will
select each match in order.  Selections are indicated by having a grey
background.  *Replace,* in my opinion, is worse.  More disappearing bars.
Enter the existing text after the *Replace:* then it *disappears* replaced
by a *With:* that you enter what you want it replaced with, which then also
disappears.  A UI that presented the end user with both Find: & Replace at
the same time, and didn't keep disappearing would be most helpful.

Just my $0.02.

rik.
