Hi,

Complex search and replace should change sometimes soon.

For the impatient, try the Scheme commands '(open-search)'
and '(open-replace)' (e.g. after doing M-X).
We still have to implement an adequate footer widget
instead of a popup window which clobbers the main window.

Best wishes, --Joris
