Simple Find in Files Question

Trying to find the occurences of an expression in a folder containing a large number of files (300+). When I run the search using Find in Files Textpad gives me the no. of occurences (84, in this case) but it does not list the lines out explicitly. How do I reconfigure to view the output?

In the "Find in Files" dialog, there is a section "Report Detail" which lets you select "All matching lines" or "File counts only".

Yep. That's not it. I tried both options but got the same result.
Problem solved itself, however, when I downloaded the old version, 4.7.3. Got the desired output. Just kind of ticked when I couldn't get the same results in v. 5.

Strange. Here it works (Textpad 5.2 on WinXP), also at home (Textpad 5.2 on Win2K)
