| No, because if you look at editor.cpp, you will see :
|
| if ( _mode == SEARCH )  {

| }
I'm not talking about source code, I'm talking usability.
Users opens the dialog both for editing, and for searching, if the listbox is 
"and" in one situation and "or" in the other, then they might be confused.

This is for super users anyway.
Besides the introduction dialog tells users about this.

I'm not saying that you might not succeed in changing my mind over time, but 
not this close to the release, sorry.
