      Move to top still disappears.

      Please remove all plugins and test again.
      If it persists, then it could be an issue under Windows 7.

        It was a conflict with the NppMenuSearch plugin. It has a toolbar text widget that always sits at the right end of the toolbar and an option to lock the widget size. I should have noticed that the MenuSearch widget disappeared at the same time the Increment search bar disappeared. If it’s unlocked, everything works.

        Ironically, I only started posting in this thread because NppMenuSearch couldn’t find any strings/labels for the new Increment preference.

            The new position of the up/down button is very inconvenient. (you constantly confuse it with the forward/backward search buttons)

            The most convenient place for it is next to the button that closes this search panel. (that’s where it belongs!)

              close button at most right position, up/down botton at position left next to close button

              Personally, if I used that bar, that’s what I would prefer… But they would have to adjust with window width, not be at fixed positions

              It’s quite complex to implement such idea.
              The best I can do is what @andrecool-68 has suggested:

              A.

              or we can keep the current one:

              B.

                D. Users will probably strongly prefer one position or the other, not want to change it frequently. Put it in the Preferences instead of on the bar.

                  @Coises I think the idea of donho was to have either the A or B version implemented, not to have the possibility to switch

                    The advantage of the Up/Down arrow being on the bar itself, rather than as an option hidden in the dialog, is that users can discover/notice this new feture as soon as they use Incremental Search. Moreover, a simple arrow on the bar is easier to understand than a long explanatory sentence buried in another dialog.

                      That would also be my suggestion. A setting that doesn’t get changed often should live in Settings… > Preferences. On the bar, it just clutters it up.

                        @donho Is it possible to add a button (for the search bar) to clear the text field?
