Indeed. Don't double the work and thus confuse users with 2 different  
search dialogs!

'Wrap around' is a must. If a search doesn't find anything, search again 
from the top to the cursor location (or the next linebreak/newline). If 
the search still results in nothing, report that to the user...

It's very annoying if the user must manually change the search direction 
and resubmit the query if nothing is found...
