+		<p>The find/replace dialog now appears as an overlay on top of the editor. 
+			By default, it performs a "search as you type". This overlay includes several search options that can
+			be toggled on or off either through keyboard shortcuts or by clicking the corresponding icons in the overlay.
+			The supported search options are:
+			<ul>
+				<li><img style="max-width: 32px;" src="images/case_sensitive.svg"/> Case sensitive search (Ctrl + shift + C)</li>
+				<li><img style="max-width: 32px;" src="images/whole_word.svg"/> Whole word search (Ctrl + shift + W)</li>
+				<li><img style="max-width: 32px;" src="images/regex.svg"/> Search for a regular expression (Ctrl + shift + P)</li>
+				<li><img style="max-width: 32px;" src="images/search_in_area.svg"/> Search in a selected area (Ctrl + shift + A)</li>
+			</ul>
+		</p>
+		<p>In case you prefer the old find/replace dialog, you can enable it in the preferences under <code>General -> Editors -> Text Editors</code>
+			<img style="max-width: 600px;" src="images/overlay_top_replace_open.png" alt="Find/Replace overlay"/>
+			You can also choose to display the overlay at the bottom of the page.
