Several months ago in the thread that took suggestions for the new SI before its introduction, someone argued forcefully for dropping the editing window entirely. Fortunately, the suggestion wasn't followed.

His objection to the window was that the search engine (such as it is) does not index words in a message until the edit window closes. He apparently searches for messages frequently and wants near-instant indexing.

It becomes problematic if a message is edited after it's indexed since each edit would require a re-indexing (including removal from the index of words that were deleted).
