Why does the Edit menu contain two search tools?
From version 3.4, the software offers a new tool to perform searches.


 * 1) there is still ' (or ') identical to what existed before (except for the shortcut); and
 * 2) now we also have ' (or ') that displays a Find toolbar at the bottom of the work space (as in Firefox for example).


 * this toolbar provides an entry box for the text to be searched for, together with previous and next buttons;
 * it is designed for quick searches using the most recent search term, for which not all the standard dialog settings are needed;
 * besides using the Edit menu, you can also display or hide it like other toolbars from the ; and
 * the key can be used to close the toolbar when the cursor is positioned in the entry box.
