 The Find panel has recently been updated to use layout management.
 Great![[BR]]
 I have three little beefs with it:

 1. Switching the expando label between "More options" / "Fewer options"
 feels awkward. I'd rather go with simply "Options". IMO the GUI should be
 as steady and unchanging as possible.

 2. The expando label and widget is moving when expanding/collapsing. It
 should stay in the same place, so the user can quickly see what additional
 options there are and re-hide them without moving the mouse.

 3. The moving icon and "Search" button when expanding/collapsing are
 distracting as well. How about keeping those in their "collapsed
 position"? Like this:
