Where did the single file Find options go? They used to be nicely
placed in the very useful Find window. Now that's gone, replaced by
the goofy find banner thing. The 3.2 enhancements doc says "Options
for the Find are available in the magnifying-glass pulldown in the
search bubble." Bwah? What's a magnifying-glass pulldown? (And did
they mean *popup*? Way too many people incorrectly calling popups
"pulldowns" these days.) And what's a search bubble?
I don't suppose there's a hidden pref that lets me get the old Find
window back? I miss it. The find banner didn't help anything, but made
it more difficult to figure out and use, and it steals focus from the
text editor, which always isn't obvious unless you look up there. I
don't know why Apple replaced a perfectly good and useful feature with
something completely non-standard and weird. Having find banners
showing in all my windows wastes as much space as having a menubar at
the top of every window. Yuck. El grosso. Give me a Find window
please. Plus, you have to take an extra step to get the Replace field
if you didn't already figure that out and change your key bindings.
