Thanks! Indeed these are the little but very valuable usability improvements that users appreciate.

Now I am wondering what other enhancements to that dialog would be good to
make while it's fresh in my mind. ...
Any other proposals?

There was the issue of persistence of search options. I don't have links now, but this will likely require some thinking. It is mostly addressed by the "Extra" options visibility you already mention (in short, the issue is: if I choose to search backwards once, the next time -even in a new session? didn't check- I do a search I will find it pre-selected, but it won't be visible in the dialog due to the Extra section being collapsed by default).

 Should we ask our current users what they want (how?)?

The best way to involve users is to do BOTH of the following:

1) Open a discussion on the forum (and this was already done)

2) Create a simple blog post on https://blogs.apache.org/ooo/ linking to it. Even if you just copy/paste your message it is fine, but it is important that the blog reflects major news. Since it points at the forum, you should disable comments so that we capture all feedback in one channel. Do you need author access to the blog? Infra can arrange it if needed, just ask here in case.

Regards,
  Andrea.
