Well, imho the Find features in the editor, browsers, etc are finding for contents inside a document, and where you are likely to leave it open for a while and do additional searches and everything, whereas I think in Dolphin you open it, look for something, and close it. Also, and more importantly, Dolphin is one of the few applications that specifically announce the Search features in the toolbar by default, none of the other apps do this. So I think it should be a toggle button, since you have that button in the toolbar by default. 
(Dolphin doesn't use the standard places bar, so much for consistency scnr *duck* :P)
