Just a quick observation: out of all the widgets we can have visible
in the toolbar, all of them are accessible via the keyboard, and can
be left off the toolbar for experienced users, *except* for the search
field. I cannot do an ISF without that search field in the toolbar.

I'd keep the toolbar hidden myself if I didn't need that search field.
It's always nice to get an extra couple of lines in the main text
pane. :) My tool bar is basically empty except for the search field,
and just mostly takes up space.
