<p>It's strange that we add something, make it default, and then we hide from in existing installations.</p>

<p>Since it's a major UI change (search is a heavily function) I would rather not force this surprise on "senior users". Interested users can change the setting and new users get the bar anyway.</p>
<p>I don't feel that "asking users" will get us anywhere. We don't have a forum where we can reach a significant portion, geany-users is the best bet but reflects only a small subset. Even then, most probably can't be bothered to specifically test this PR and report back.</p>
