I like having the mode always active, but I will comment that gnome3 is going the way of NOT having a search dialog box - the search options are selected with right-click properties on the search status bar inset.

However search-next always is active.

    I think the best option would be to have "search"/"search/replace"

    like "search backwards" and "case sensitive" checkbox, "previous
    match" button, regular expressions mode etc.


I assume Joris had some reason not to implement one of those dialogs (or maybe was it just a quick hack?), so although I also miss them I think it'd be better to have them as an extra. I'll think about it and maybe start a new thread here some day.

    This seems to be the quasi-standard now under all OSes, and the
    current Texmacs implementation is really annoying for anything
    else but searching for simple terms that only occur once.


I agree it could be better. But you can use "Find next" now...

    For long documents, I always close the document and do the
    search/replace in a plain text editor on the .tm file.


I do exactly the same thing.

    So as a start, I'd strongly vote for keeping the shortcut always
    active..


Vote noted. It's 2 - 0 now.
