Created attachment 167242 [details] Find and Replace dialog by default As Diacritic-sensitive was selected the Other Options expander is always on. I suggest to change the Diacritic-sensitive options that way that the checkbox is not selected by default and the Find & Replace dialog was shown by default in the simple mode.
In BUG 129629 comment 4 is written, that the default setting for Search and Replace dialog should be collapsed. As there is one checkbox selected expand is the default setting. As Diacritic-sensitive is in addition not that easy to understood, I suggest to change the checkbox behavior (off by default) so that the Search and Replace dialog will be collapsed by default.

See bug 116242 and commits for it The diacritics-sensitive check box is *required* for correct ICU lib based search. It needs to remain enabled for all language flavors (Western, CJK, CTL) Maybe something can be done during work for bug 104318, but near term would think the 'Other options' state could be decoupled from the diacritics-sensitive checked enabled state.
I like when I see all available options at once if the dialog allows it So -1 from me
But what's the reason to have an expander when the dialogue is always expanded, no more options is needed
(In reply to andreas_k from comment #5) > But what's the reason to have an expander when the dialogue is always > expanded, no more options is needed Possibly the dialog remembers what the user chose last? But the decision to have it visible, was a deliberate one after a long.... fight, since the Options may have settings from a previous session that do influence the behavior and so that you must see right in your face. (You'll be able to find all past discussions, I guess ;) )
This is a difficile issue. In 2017, Bug 111846 was implemented to have a positive wording in all settings and to have no checked option in the default F&R dialog. Then in 2018 with Bug 98544 it was implemented that the F&R dialog should remember the 'other options' state. If something is checked then the dialog should stay open. Also in 2018 the diacritic setting was changed so that it's checked by default. This reversed parts of the initial idea of Bug 111846. I think Bug 98544 must be re-implemented in a smarter way. The F&R dialog should be collapsed at it's first opening. After that the user's choice and/or the checkboxes' status should be considered to decide if it's collapsed or not. If a user or a program function changes a checkbox status then the dialog should open in it's full extent. With this no one will oversee a setting. Overseen settings hidden in the collapsed dialog could harm the search function in a user's point of view.
Let's do it and collapse unless diacritics is off or any other option is on.
Or you could just move the diacritics option into the upper part - above the more options, so that it can never be hidden.

It does not need to be moved (but if so, the other ICU transliteration controls would need to be kept with it). Otherwise the expose/display logic for expanding the 'Other options' panel in the dialog is what needs to be adjusted. The expanded state is because the 'Diacritics-sensitive' is required to be enabled by default [1], disabling it is non-performant. And a change from that default, to unchecked, is what should trigger exposing the 'Other options'--not the presence of a single checked option as now. That could be a test for each of the options for each of the language modes--but that seems excessive. So probably keep it simple and just check the state of the diacritic-sensitive (all modes) and the kashida-sensitive (for CTL mode).
