It used to be quite simple to simply control + F and then type search terms in a box that was present in the tool bar. Now the only way I can find to search seems to be a horrible box that blocks part of the document.
Thanks. This doesn't help. What I would like is to have an unobstructed view of the document (no open sidebars, no intruding search box) on one-half of my screen and to be able to use it just like that, without having to waste time pulling out side bars or going to the full screen. Having a perpetually open full search is not an improvement at all
Wait... are you saying I can somehow move it upwards to the toolbar rather than to the left or right but still covering part of the document? If so, that is the exact thing that I would like to do, but I can't get it to work.
In exploring this situation, I too would love to be able to dock the Find dialog off of the view panel. I did discover, surprisingly, that I could slide the Find box left and right on the upper view panel border. While not what you were hoping for, maybe moving it far left could help if it is in the way in the default upper right.
Thank you, I already know about Control + F, but the "functionality" is not the same. It is now covering up part of my document, sometimes including the actual search term itself. Aside from that, the only way to actually SEE the tool bar is to have the document in full screen. I need to have the document on half of the screen with something else alongside of it.
Why have they done this? It makes me want to go back to a previous version. Do you happen to know which version was the last to NOT have this added thing that sucks away my productivity?
