Tommaso, is this fine with you?
+1.
Just as a funny way to feed the discussion, let me highlight that you can
currently use the simple search to find text inside the Advanced Find's
search and replace WorkAreas :-).
I also fixed a few issues with the simple search, in trunk, so I'm of course
fine with keeping the original simple search at least for the first release
cycle in which the Advanced Find goes in.
Just as a reminder, the performance
problems in Advanced Find should come up only with long documents and
ignore-format option off (from the Advanced/Settings panel).
The potential problem of LyX apparently stuck while searching was addressed
by my patch to #7217, not committed yet because Vincent was preferring
a threaded implementation.
If other developers like me would prefer to have it in when LyX 2.0 is
released
(leaving possible reworks in threaded mode for later) just let me know.

I have one and I will commit when 2.(0.)1 svn is open. Unless people are urging to get it in 2.0. Developing new features is just not very successful if you try to fix a lot of bugs as well at the same time. Vincent

Currently the dialogs are exactly the same except for the possibility to type non-plain text in the advanced one. Perhaps it'd be good to make the "Quick" search a bit more simple then? Maybe just a search box? Joost

its pretty clear from the patch activity around find adv code, that we havent
reach the stable point.
secondly, in my usage of lyx 2, i still prefer small dialog for only-text search
just because its size. thats why was talking about the replacement with small
widget,
perhaps in 2.1. so no, i dont agree with killing it now.

i must miss something very basic. what two windows are you talking about?
:)
i see one panel with two workareas and one tab for special settings.
You're right, I was confused myself now by the UI. These texts on the tabs
("Basic" and "Advanced") don't make sense to me. Shouldn't that be renamed
to "Search" and "Settings" or something similar?
just tried some search and no, speed looks fine now. anyway we are still
in a debug mode for this new feature.
I guess if it's stable enough to go in 2.0, it can also replace the old one?

Vincent had plan to move it to firefox-style onliner, but it didn't happened. unless you show me where is the third, i think these two are fine. advanced speed is still not enough. The advanced mode has two windows - basic and advanced. I didn't notice the performance issue of the advanced ones. UI wise it doesn't make sense to have both but I guess we have to wait for better performance then. Joost

Find & replace in 2.0
Hi, I was just checking out some new 2.0 features and noticed we got three find & replace dialogs now: * Find & replace - Quick * Find & replace - Advanced - Basic * Find & replace - Advanced - Advanced This really seems like too much. Could we get rid of the old "Quick" dialog and rename "Advanced Find and Replace" to "Find and Replace"? Regards, Joost
