Suggestion for Find / Replace dialog of v2.5

[Mark Bryson]

Usefulness of the "Replace" tab of the Find/Replace dialog is greatly diminished without a "Find Next" button. To be selective about search and replace requires both tabs with their separate search fields. (You must enter what you're looking for twice)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I think the find / replace tabs could be combined in a dialog with no tabs while being more useful. If the "Find Next" button was added to the replace tab, it could concurrently serve all Find / Replace purpose as a simpler, more intuitive and easier to use tab-less dialog. (e.g. Like the "Edit | Replace..." dialog of Notepad.)

Up / down radio buttons could also have significant value if this dialog must be modal, unlike being modeless with Notepad. (or like an always on top floating dialog of the kind I see targeted for v2.6)

BTW: Replace tab isn't selected (at least in IE7) on pressing the 'Replace' toolbar button, but the above suggestion would make this irrelevant.

The Find/Replace dialog will be reviewed for version 3.0.

I can't see what has been done that could have fixed it, but I can no longer duplicate the 'Replace' tab not being in focus as I mentioned at the bottom using build 17325 while I still can duplicate using build 17295. (Repeated on swap back and forth twice)

Thanks for the future review.
