[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Replace search dialog with search bar (#2220)

I disagree. The search bar comes and goes, the toolbar and statusbar are static. Sidebar and message window (on the right in my case) jumping around is distracting. I see that the search bar is part of the editor just like the header bar (when files change externally).

@js361014 if the expander simply expands a second half I would suggest it expands over the text entry so that the text entry doesn't jump.
