Wouldn’t it be great if the search options were put after the replace box? Or if there was a search box and a separate search/replace box. At the moment one has to tab four times or use some alt-shortcut to go from the search string to the replacement string. I’m all for optimizing workflow you see. 🙂  
  
Current dialog:  
Search []  
Options [] [] [] []  
Replace []  
  
My wish:  
Search []  
Replace []  
Options [] [] [] []  
  
Or: CTRL+F  
Search []  
Options [] [] [] []  
  
And: CTRL+H (Windows standard)  
Search []  
Replace []  
Options [] [] [] []  
  
Cheers,

Thanks guys. We’ve put it on the list of things to do. I agree that it’s not the most user-friendly or efficient dialog in its current form.
