Search bar
The Suggest selection to the search bar tells, whether to use current selection (if any) upon invoking the Search bar. If turned on, whenever the Search bar is being opened, current selection is copied into its Find field. Note: Hotkey Ctrl+Z can be used to go back to the previously specified text for convenience.
Note: If Suggest selection to the search bar is turned off, previously specified text is kept within the Find field.
The Reset search bar options when opened specifies, which Search options are to be reset upon each new opening of Search bar:
- Reset search bar options when opened: Match case resets the Match case option.
- Reset search bar options when opened: Whole words resets the Whole words option.
- Reset search bar options when opened: Escapes, RegExps resets the Escapes and RegExps options.
The Auto-hide search bar after searching automatically hides the Search bar after searching, if focus is moved to the document text (e.g. by mouse). Note: This automated hiding occurs only after the Search Bar has been used for searching, therefore, after opening but before actually searching (whether successful or not), it never auto-hides, thus still providing opportunity to manually copy some text into the Search Bar from the document for example. On the other hand, after using Find and then clicking the document, the Search Bar hides to leave behind clean and roomy workspace.
The Only after successful match disables automated Search Bar hiding after unsuccessful uses. Successful match must be made in order to hide the Search Bar and clean the workspace. This option is the usual user's expected of behaviour — search until found, then close the Search Bar and work with the occurrence.

The Disable multi-threading allows to disable multi-threading in search routines in case of troubleshooting. Note: This option should not be tampered with without full understading of mutli-threading and its impacts. Use only if instructed to do so by authors of the software.
Note: Although (theoretically) disabling multi-threading may speed up search initialization, it does not affect the speed of actual searching, unless the underlying system is incapable of true multi-threading support. On the other hand, by disabling multi-threading, one completely looses the option to cancel any ongoing search. Even if an abort dialog is shown (which is rather unlikely, but this can change from version to version and system to system), it won't stop the ongoing search anyway.
