Search / Replace Features

[sskaggs]

I would love to the Search box have the same ability to limit the scope of the search as the Replace box. Specifically, Active Document, Selected Text, and All Documents (which is already available).

In addition, when using All Documents, it should jump to the next document when using Find Next after all matches have been found in the current document.

Finally, the ability to limit search / replace to only marked lines would be very valuable. I'd like to see this as a separate checkbox option that would work along with the scope option chosen.

I vote a strong YES (please) to this enhancement!

BTW, is there some other (official?) way of voting for enhancements, besides just posting a reply?

Thanks!

You can create a POLL when you first create a new subject.

Here are some guidelines that were suggested many years ago (2003) when Jeffy was doing summaries of suggestions:

For consistency with ranking, we wanted to use the same options on all polls so they could be weighted properly. Here is what we came up with....

* 5: Important, even if speed/efficiency is decreased/degraded.
* 4: Somewhat important
* 3: I'm okay either way
* 2: Somewhat unimportant
* 1: Unimportant, even if speed and efficiency remain unaffected
