I have just tried the svn trunk version and the new search&replace. It is great and I have have been longing this feature for years. Thank you Tommaso and the others. But do we really need two search&replace items in the menu ? I have argued in the past and I still believe that LyX menus are suffering from Emacs-Disease and there are too many items. LyX should not be intimidating for new users and shows its power step by step. Would it not be better to have one search&replace dialog and a button to toggle between simple mode and advanced mode. Today the advanced mode pane design is different than the simple one in term of place of the find button, replace button, replace all button, locations of the checkboxes. Usability wise, it is not optimal. Cheers, Charles
