When I perform a search or search and replace in Writer, I can put the windows Search 

When I do a search in writer I can keep open the search window, edit the text, then do a new search and change the text again without close the search windows.

In the database, if I do a search on a form or on a table, I must close the search window to make changes to the text.

It would be much better to use the same system as the writer

Thank you all for your work

Confirming. It has unfortunately always been this way, ever since OpenOffice.org, and from memory, even before that with StarOffice.

I would be inclined to mark this as DUP of bug 32506. Your issue is the wish to have a modal dialog for Search.

Bug 32506 is an enhancement to the Search dialog that would allow for Search and Replace and allow it to be modal, so your request partly covers the features already being developed.
