The search interface has been discussed at length, maybe it's not
perfect, but I am pretty happy with what we have now. I am not a big fan
of search bars at the bottom... search bars are suited for incremental
search which is ok in a browser but do not work well with an editor
(which also need replace) so the dialog version is needed for that.

For quick find I really prefer our incremental search than a bar. Note
that most of the features you mention are also available right click
menu in the incremental search entry and the way most common thing of
the ones you mention (going backward/forward) is easily done with the
arrow keys or with the mouse scroll wheel.
