Notepad++ Find dialog has a Count button, why not TextPad?

[David Haslam]

The Notepad++ Find dialog has a Count button, so why not add such a feature to TextPad?

Knowing how many occurrences there are for your search string can be very useful feedback (and error check) before you move on to perform a search and replace.

You can replace the text you are interested in by itself (or anything else), using Replace All, and examine the left-hand end of the status bar. (You can then undo the change.)

Yes - I knew that (as a long term Textpad user) - but it ain't as neat, and not nearly so obvious to the rookie user.
