Personally, I think John's idea of an icon on either side of the search field is the most intuitive. Even if they are simply stock right/left arrow icons, their intended purpose should be fairly obvious to the user:

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.
But since I keep my Geany toolbar hidden 99.99% of the time, most of what I say here is probably just noise anyway :-)
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.
