Hi.
Usinx textpad 5.2.0.

When searching for text, using the "In All Documents" option, I can search for a string in multiple documents. It returns I.E. 13 occurences found, but the search result does not display, and I can't seem to find a way to see where these 13 occurences appears.



Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bjorn

By clicking Mark All, you have set temporary bookmarks on all of those line numbers. F2 and Shift-F2 will go forward and backward between bookmarks in the active document but I have never tried to use it to span multiple files. If I manually click into document 2, I see that it has bookmarks and navigation goes as normal. But if only 2 of 50 open files had bookmarks, I don't see a way of jumping to the next open document with a bookmark. Perhaps another board member with more experience with them will have insight.

As an option to all open documents, Find in Files (Ctrl-F5) may be an alternative for you. In the search results tab, there will be hot linked results, either in the "all matching lines" or "file counts only"

The F2 solution only works in active document, but the find in files option is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!

...this makes the "in all files" options practically useless

I'm having the same problem...but this alternative does not help in my case, since I have a lot of open files from different locations. It would be great if the Find Next (with "In all documents" checked) would simply jump right to the next open document that contains the next found result, as you would expect it to.

Another feature that would help in my case would be for the Find in Files dialog to give the option to search in all open documents, instead of a specific folder.
