Usability issues and improvement ideas

Incremetal search bar

• Do we need a clear button for the search pattern line edit? (#161415) // sping

Power search and replace bar

• Bar is too wide and makes window grow on open (#159954) // sping
• Bar is quite high // sping
• Is switching modes (e.g. "Plain Text" to "Whole words") easy enough? // sping
• Are the "Add..." buttons used at all? Remove or move into context menue? // sping
• Checkboxes: How often are they toggled? The state of which does the user need to see? // sping
• "Use Placeholders" - better name? // sping
• Add option for selecting match or just highlighting? (#130396) // sping

Both editions

• Remove From cursor option and make enabled default? // sping
• "Reached buttom, continue from top" indication spans two lines which also grows/shrinks the height of the bar (#168687, #170279) // sping
