Every other major editor that I know of has search (and replace) on the
Edit menu - so it would seem logical to group all search commands together
there (instead of having to look for them in two menus).

BTWm they typically have "Options" on either Edit or Tools menu.  
Never as a separate menu - although some of the elements of the Options
menu are on a View menu (e.g. word wrap, show/hide, etc).
