Excuse me, but your proposal seems wery inconvenient to me.

Just imagine that I use your "Find" dialog:
how I can to do {case-sensitive, regexp, backward} search?

: "Replace". Here, the options can make the operation faster.

Is I right when think that this means "find *and* replace", not a "find
*or* replace in the one bottle"?  (Just because merging of these two
functions into one is the way to damage your document by a chance...)
If I right then imagine now that I use your "Find and Replace" dialog:
If I want to replace why default button is "Find next" (moreover, may be
in this context "Skip" is better name)?  And regexps absent again...

: Pressing Escape activates the Stop button, and closes the window.

Totally agree about Escape.
