[New-bugs-announce] [issue34976] IDLE: Replace the search dialog with a search bar

[Tal Einat]

New submission from Tal Einat <taleinat at gmail.com>:

Search dialogs are clunky and arguably outdated. Most modern editors, IDEs and browsers use a search bar instead.

I created a search bar for IDLE as an extension years ago, it can be found on PyPI as "SearchBar". I hadn't updated it in recent years and it doesn't work with modern IDLE. I doubt that it has seen much use.

I suggest that having this built into IDLE would be a great benefit to its users.
