I guess you're right. Kovid mentioned that "full-text search" is a non-modal child window. I believe Preferences window is a modal child window.
Why do I say that? Because FT search window will appear as its own tab in my panel, whereas Preferences window does not have its own tab in my Linux Mint panel.
