No.

Incremental search is only useful if always enabled. Not being able to see 
previous search and go to it with enter removes functionality. And not being 
able to paste something ending with a linefeed removes more functionality.

The NOT FOUND and BAD REGEX probably shouldn't be wrapped in [], when right 
aligned, and should have two spaces on the right, like "Modified" does. And 
also two spaces on left side to keep long query text away from it.
