Another great feature we could steal from acrobat reader is to show a list of hits in the document (with some context) allowing the user to go directly to the right one. Of course, if the side bar is already full like it is now, it is a bit difficult. But I think this feature would be at least as important as 'advanced search'.
Agree. I was thinking to a "Search in files..." feature that many IDEs have nowdays. This would show up a window (typically docked, on the bottom), with a table showing the matches for each file, sometimes along with the (start of the) text line that matched. Such "search-results" dialog could be shown automatically or on request (it could just be a View->Toolbars->....) checkbox. When docked on the bottom, it seems to me more useful than docked on the left, a'la Acrobat Reader, because the latter way there is really too few space to show anything useful about the match (apart from the actual text I searched for).
Such window could just be yet another use-case for a (read-only, clickable) GuiWorkArea widget. Actually, probably the most useful thing would be a QScrolledList with the capability to embed a (probably) single-line GuiWorkArea widget for every cell into a column. Don't know if that would be too challenging/slow for LyX. T.
