Flagging up file hits in search across multiple files

Post by markd »

Just sent this one to support and they suggested I park it up here to see what people think. Seen a few requests on string-searching functionality so it could well have been mentioned already...

When I do a search across multiple open documents for a string, having
selected 'Mark all', it would be very helpful if the documents in which the
string has been found were highlighted in the open docs pane.

If I have 30 html pages open and I want to change 'YourString' to 'MyString' across the site, I'd like not to have to check each open file for markers. It's nice that Textpad scrolls to the marker when you view the file, so you quickly know if your string is there, but it'd be nicer just to deal with hits and not the misses. What say ye, friends?

Working in c/s database and web client database design, I use Textpad mainly for fast edits and look-ups across multiple files.
