I would like to see this part of the interface--viz. the Find dialog
box--redesigned with the following goal:

Make it more friendly toward non-mouse-driven usage! I.e. make it easier to
enter search criteria completely from the keyboard. It's a pain once I
enter one author to leave the keyboard to go to the mouse to go hunt for
the "and" button and then back to the keyboard to type a second author's
name. (Also how about one quick command to clear all the search criteria in
order to make a fresh start?)
