The above is why it is much faster. I cringe when forced to use a dialog box for all searching. Being an emacs user and a firefox user, these are key productivity boost when navigating some form of a text document.
I'm a longtime Emacs user. I've been using OS X for more than a year and TM is what it took for me to ditch the (horribly buggy and crash-prone) Emacs build for OS X. I've had a lot of muscle memory to un-learn but I do like TM. Hey, I paid for it, which is saying a lot for me!
Someone mentioned emacs highlighting every search; for me, this is not a huge deal. What's most important is jumping to the point in the document after the cursor where the search first hits, and updating itself as the search phrase is expanded.
I eschew Firefox on OS X because its interface is *very* "un-Mac", but I really dig the search thingy that pops up at the bottom of the window when you type "/whatever". That would be a really nifty add'n to TM. But just being able to type "^swhatever^s^s" to jump to the third match for "whatever" in my current document would may me just jibber with happiness. :-)
