No sir, i don't intend to narrow down the search without good reason. What i
intend is that we give the user a reasonable option through the check box and
still keep the UI simple as Firefox has done. Honestly their UI does not look
that complicated does it? It looks simple as well as adequate since it would
cover the majority of use cases.

If Quick Find Toolbar catches too many characters which are not desired by the
user, we may be quickly producing the search results, but it would end up
consuming more of the user's time in filtering out what he/she desires - thus
making it not so quick in the end. 
This is especially the case when the QFS is disentangled from the Sidebar Find
(which lists all the search results), and one would have to go through each and
every result to see if what is caught is what is searched. Had the QFS been
linked to the sidebar results, then the user would have some relief in just
having to scroll down the list and select/see whatever he/she wants.

When the pages go into double digit figures the number of diacritics words
would also increase... And other European languages do have many diacritic
words.
