Ability to find text in comments

Unread post by itexnz »

Hi all, I think it would be useful to be able to easily find text within comments added to topics... I often use the insert>comment functionality to add references to changes made as part of a developer's JIRA issue number, it'd be great to be able to find these later... e.g. if a change is made to the JIRA issue, I could easly track down every topic touched by the original JIRA issue and make changes where required

I also hoped to find this functionality - I see that this post was quite some time ago - is this going to be implemented any time soon?

It is already there. Select Write > Find and Replace and in the Find Where: field select "Captions". This will search both image captions and comments. 8)
