Search all directions not just down or up

Post by davephx »

Happy user for many years - minor irritant

When doing a search/Find (usually in .txt file) I often go to end of document may add things etc but want to do a search and don't realize not finding something since defaults to "down" and often forget to change to up.

Wish there would be an option to simply search and not have to worry if up or down from where I am - unless I've been missing something for a decade to avoid this :)

Hmmm the hidden answer in plain sight!

I'd rather just do whole document search once and not go round and round having to remember when its repeated but that is close.... now if could set it as a default option ....

Ensure you have only one instance of TextPad running. Set the option, close TextPad. Now it is the defult.
