I’d be a bit more cautious when it comes to a full find/replace with options. One of the nice advantages of dialogs is that they’re large enough to provide meaningful labels on everything, optional help text, etc. If the target audience includes many learners, who likely don’t have the same experience with IDE’s, the search bar idea may be a bit too concise.
