Hi, (I know we had similar discussion a few years ago already). I'd like to split the "Search in current file" into a separate plugin/tab. For "in current file", less options would be required. All the "advanced" options are not necessary, so also the button to toggle between options and results is not necessary, and always the results would be visible. The "Search" buttin, the "Use current documents folder" button, the mode combobox, the "Expand results" button, the "add new search tab" button would all not be necessary. I would suggest that this would always search automatically when the search text is modified, without maximum file size. I would also suggest that it searches automatically when switching to a different file, i.e. always the search results for the current search string in the current file would be visible. Together with this, I would suggest to remove the "In current file" search mode from the normal "Search and Replace", and also disable the automatic search in the current file when typing. To me, this would actually be better than it is now, since the automatic searching quite often dismissed my search results, while I actually wanted to keep them. What do you think ? Alex
