Suggesting few improvements to make this process faster:

  1. The search box should have focus by default (it currently doesn't)
  2. The list of candidates should be sorted by similarity, to avoid searching altogether in most cases

Another issue, for which I don't see simple fix:

  • The current text is often hidden, (if the candidates dialog takes full vertical space) so it's not easy to compare the texts of old and new version.
