Incremental search changes the way you do searching. Using Firefox or Mozilla, on a web page I can just type '/' and then the thing I'm looking for.
I agree, incremental searching is great. I like the highlighting feature in firefox. I can see it be a great help when searching for all the times a function is being called in your program. I really like the way Firefox has implemented the interface as a strip at the bottom.
May I suggest cmd-/ for incremental search?
This may be going out on a limb, but why not just make it cmd+f and change the find dialog to a strip like firefox. While on the subject of finding why not combine the the find in project and current find dialog into one. This way you can use the same replace selected feature on single documents and not just projects.
