[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 87965] Make 'Search Results' dialog optional from Find & Replace dialog

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87965

--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze@user-prompt.com> ---
The normal workflow is slowed down, but there are use-cases where this dialog
makes sense. So why don't add a checkbox to the F&R dialog "[ ] Show summary".
This setting would be useless in case of replace step by step.

The other option is to require an explicit activation for this dialog. For
instance via menu item below Find & Replace like "Show last replacements
(Shift+Ctrl+H)". Drawback here is that this option is available for a short
period only. The last R&F result becomes invalid after user changes, and so the
dialog.

Last but not least we could show the search results in the R&F dialog itself,
perhaps using a results tab. This dialog remains open right now until closed by
user. I think this would be the best solution.
