In my case, more because (a) I didn't receive the original message, and
(b) compiling is hard(TM). :-)
I don't know whether it's helpful, but I think that:
* A Find bar should be used only for type-ahead find, with a floating
window being used for more complex options.
* "Find" is a more positive name than "Search".
* If an application is able both to find things and to change them, it
should have a single "Find/Change" window that does both jobs (as I
reported in bug 169537). Separating them is aggravating.
* "Close" buttons are tragic time-wasters in any window, Find windows
included.
