Just [came up](https://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=177734) in a German forum, where a user described the replace dialog as "cryptic":

The last three buttons in the German replace dialog are labeled "Search", "Replace" and "Replace and Find" ("Suchen", "Ersetzen", "Ersetzen und Finden"). Using a different term to describe the very same action - i.e. "search for next match" - makes an already complicated dialog even less intuitive.

I assume the "Find" instead of "Search" description in the last button was used because all of the letters in "Ersetzen und Suchen" are already used as shortcuts for other gadgets.

IMHO, a better approach would have been to change one of the shortcuts  of the other gadgets, so "Ersetzen und Suchen" could have been used.
