This sounds contradictory
to me. Will it be just a button or remain a search field where I can enter
the search text? If the former, I am -1 for it. I want to be able to directly
enter the search text. Otherwise +1.

For sure not something
we should change after M3. So, 4.13 candidate.

Hi all,

In https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500618(and a few related ones), there seems to be a consensus building around
the idea that the SearchField and more specifically the way user interact
with text and table has some pitfalls in term of simplicity of usage, accessibility,
maintenance... compared to just showing up the QuickAccessDialog on click.
I'd like to start working on the plain
removal of all the "smartness" of SearchField, and make it just
a widget showing the QuickAccessDialog on click. The toolbar entry would
remain the same, to keep explicit it's a general search field, but the
filtering and listing proposals would happen in the dialog.
This would improve factorization, remove
~600 lines of code, get back to very standard and accessible dialogs, without
functional loss.

Does anyone have an objection about it?
If so, please put them in the bug preferably.
