Version 9 search dialog

Unread post by Tim Frost »

Has the search/replace dialog intentionally changed in H&M version 9? In version 8 it was possible to click in a new topic while searching, then click Next in the open search dialog, and find the next occurrence of the search term in the selected topic. Now in version 9 the search always jumps back to the start of the first topic in the project. Very annoying! Especially if I want to search the manual starting from the 100th topic.

Nothing has changed. You just forgot to select Find in: All topics from here, instead of All topics in the Find in: field. The latter always starts with the first topic, of course -- otherwise it couldn't search all topics. When you're working like this it's often best to change it to Current topic so that you can focus on the hits in the current topic.

Thanks, I usually use 'all topics from here' - don't know why I failed to spot that!
