I feel like what's needed here is a setting to choose whether to make the find&replace bar global, or document-specific. When it's document-specific then its open/closed state should be remembered on a per-document basis, as is requested here. When it's global, then not only should it stay open or closed across all documents, but its search history and current search term should be global as well, rather than per-document.

The "Search and Replace" bottom panel is global and the behaviour that it remains open when you switch documents is intended. If you want to close it, pressing Esc key or Clicking on the panel button at the bottom will do that. The document search (which you can open with Ctrl + F) closes as soon as you switch tabs / views.
