Just a couple of notes here: The Find/Replace dialog is non-modal which means it has to start searching/replacing form where the current selection/caret is. If your caret was at the end of the document and you had the "search backwards" checkbox unchecked, or the caret was at the beginning of the document and you had the "search backwards" checkbox checked, it would not have done anything ... unless you had the "wrap around" check box checked.
verified in 1/24 build.
