I would really like to have multi-line Find and Replace text boxes plus make the dialog (and thus the text boxes) resizeable. This is of great benefit when doing complex search/replace especially when using regular expressions. I suggested this for EmEditor a while ago and they did a great implementation. This is the single feature that has me leaning towards returning to it.
Cheers,
Greg

The TextFX Find/Replace (Ctrl+R) dialog is both multiline and resizeable.

I find it weird that some core functionality in Notepad++ is implemented and in part duplicated via plugins.
To me find and replace is a core of what a programming editor must do, so I totally agree with Greg's request.
In fact, I would add that the find and replace dialog should be dockable so that you can keep it open at all times.
