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?
It really is a pull-down list, not a popup button:

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.
Don't tell *us*, tell Apple -- put your complaint into the form of a
bug report, where it will actually get noticed.
Better still, *don't* submit a bug report. Personally, I'm happy
enough with the new Find bar, so I'd be a little disappointed if it
got changed back again.
