At first I was also annoyed but now find that I like the new arrangement much better than the old function.

Since the small search box at the bottom of the screen is a toolbar, it can be moved. I moved it to an unused piece of real estate at the right side of the top tool bar and then locked it in place. Now it is always available. I really like the fact that you can search either forward or back in a document without changing the default action of the old search pop-up.

To me it's a much improved feature.  Sometimes change is good.

In 3.4, the behavior of the ^F is altered so that a brower-style window
pops up at the bottom of the screen.  While some folks may like that I
find it to be an annoyance (this being the only app for which I have to
have a different sequence for find-and-replace - and yes, I don't use
windows much at all).

Is there a way to disable that behavior short of changing and
recompiling the code?

If there's an option somewhere under Tools>Options, then I've the I've
been completely unable to locate it.

Thanks
