Hi!

I like the idea of using a search bar like Firefox or GEdit, as long as:
1) it doesn't take much space in the main window (we can't use a full
pad for searching). Something the size of a toolbar should be ok.
2) it can be used to search in documents as well as in pads (for
example, in the output pad).

Lluis.
