Description

MediaWiki should have better find-and-replace programs while editing. Currently the find-and replace option in source mode is good, it is very hard to find and interrupts the editing interface. Also, while bots and Auto-Wiki-Browser can do this across multiple pages, not all users have access to these tools, and might have difficulty using them

I guess what I mean by "easy way" is to make Search and Replace easier to find, and to appear like it does in VisualEditor – not a popup that obstructs the content. In source mode, while the actual functionality is fine, it's hiding way off to the side separate from all the other tools in a submenu, which isn't really helpful unless you're very determinedly looking for it.
