This could easily be catered for with an option which would either use the current use-case, or the one where the Find dialogue can be updated even when it is visible. By adding an option to, say, the Search section of the Edit, Preferences, General, Miscellaneous box, the user could choose update/don't update Find when visible. If used with the "Use the current word under the cursor..." option deselected, the Textpad functionality (which I find more useful as well) can be achieved. If this is considered an acceptable solution, I'll look at making the change. What say you?
