jeff,

i guess we should do a usability test.

to be honest, I don't like the ui - I much prefer the current dialog
window (which is probably more to the liking of our target audience
anyway since they are most likely used to the search/find dialog that is
in Microsoft Word, Outlook, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and basically
every other application that has a search/find tool other than Firefox
which afaict, just did it to be different)

if the UI team decides that this interface is more intuitive, then I'll
review the patch, otherwise I don't think we want to consider this.

(appologies if this sounds rude/etc - that's not how I meant for it to
come out, but I just don't want to accept a patch that drastically
changes the UI without word upon high that this new interface is easier
for real users)
