THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING, the immediatly starting search function stalls
the program in long files (e.g. I want to search for "def", it stalls
the program (gets greyed out) for a minute)

Please fix this.

Title:
  gedit search function is not practical anymore

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  i use gedit a lot, and i find it comfortable in general.

  the new small search window is extremely impractical. FOCUS PROBLEM:
  CTRL+F > type a search (search of longer strings FAR TOO SLOW) > find 
  and now, typing ESC brings one back to the former place!
  when trying to use CTRL-F again, the search string is replaced by new text.
   
  if one wants to stay in the found passage, one must use the mouse/touchpad to click into the text.

  this is an extremely annoying feature/behavior.

  i simply would like to have the old search window + its behavior back. 
  i am working very quickly and mostly using shortcuts. 
  gedit now completely interrupts my way of working. 

  additionally, where are the other search functions such as case-
  sensitive search?

  additionally, i do not want the search function to slow down so much.
  for me it is ok to start the search after i have finished typing my
  search string :-) this new energy-consuming ZEITGEIST-etc-fashion is
  not good for quick workers with serious amounts of data.

  best wishes, vollmanr
