The search toolbar is very simple , it only provide searching text and not match Match Case. It includes backwards searching , forwards searching text and count of the searching text.

Notes

I think it would be useful to have a mode in which Impress does not rely on any X11 server information for the layout of the presenter screen. For example, I might not want the presentation window to be full screen, or I might be sharing a subrectangle of my desktop with VNC. To specify what the presentation layout should be, maybe there could be a mode similar to Apple's Keynote design screen, except that in addition to all the presenter tools, the absolute position and size of the slide that the audience sees could also be chosen. Of course, "full screen on the second display" is a special case of this. In some other presentations, I might want to have the slide window and an editable notes window up on the audience screen.
