Currently using Sigil for book editing and have some remarks on the search/replace function.

1) When doing search/replace, Sigil always switches to the code view which I personally find annoying. Even when I start from a split view, in which code is visible, it is switched to the full code view. It would be nice to retain the user preference, or to make the behavior an option.

2) When doing search/replace in 'normal' mode, Sigil does not retain the original capitalization as some other text editors do.
Example:
Original sentence : "This, THIS and this."
Search string : "this"
Replacement string: "these"
Replaced sentence: "these, these and these."
Expected sentence: "These, THESE, and these."
Is this deliberately?
