I think that was me.  The command is oaf-run-query and simply accepts one parameter specifying the query.  For the query language format please refer to docs/query-language.txt in the oaf module (you can view it from bonsai or lxr also at cvs.gnome.org).  Also, take a look at the .oaf files (in $prefix/share/oaf) for fields to build the query conditions.

That was me for sure.  Somebody with cvs access please replace the gtk_entry_new_with_max_length() with plain simple gtk_entry_new() at the scintilla_find_dialog_new and scintilla_replace_dialog_new functions (both at scintilla-find.c).
