I recently was using evince and was searching a PDF. I instinctively hit Ctrl-F to bring up the find and search, then I was browsing around a bit with the mouse and realize I had no idea how to close the find-bar with the mouse!

Of course Esc works, and the toggle-button for finding is there and works, but mentally I was searching for a "close"-style element because I didn't use the toggle to get into that mode.

This made me realize two things:
1) Find is navigation, but it's on the right with the viewing options. I would have expected it to be on the left with the other navigation options, as it is a navigational tool, not a view-tool.
2) If entered through Ctrl-F, the findbar is a bit difficult to figure out how to close. Maybe this is just me, but I didn't connect the bar with the depressed button (mostly because I never use the button to start a find, because 99% of the time I'm going to type my search).

Would it be reasonable to move the `find' toggle-button to the left? Also, is there a way to make it clear the two are linked, or adding a close button to the findbar? It may already be enough to move the button to the left, as the find controls seem to be predominantly on the left as well (at least on my system).

Just a suggestion with much love-love-love.

(I implemented the above suggestions because they were easy, and because I wondered how much work it would be; it was more for my own gratification, but you'd be welcome to the patch of course.)
