Notepad++ is one of the amazing text editors that I came across till now. But there are some issues with its search & replace pane design. First of all, text boxes are too small to enter a long text and also long regex :(. Next problem is there are too much labels. Being added an option to hide such advanced function would be nice.
I am curious to know wheter you redesign that pane in next version of the software?
:) Thanks.

I agree. I find that I an constantly moveing the
search/replace dialog around so I can see text in
my document. This dialog needs to be made smaller.
I remember using an old version of Ultra-Edit, and
there was a check box on the search/replace dialog
that would toggle the content of the dialog box
between full and compact. Maybe something like that
would be better.
