Title: A question about Find's start point...
Post by: John Montenigro on December 02, 2009, 01:28:32 PM
I'm not sure how it used to work, but I was doing a Find and noticed something I thought was somehow unusual...

I wanted to search the project for "timer", which I know is in both function names and comments.
I got clicked "next" to get past several comments, then decided I wanted to re-check that section.
Moving the mouse, I positioned the mouse pointer at the top of the visible lines of code and clicked, thereby positioning the insertion pointer at the front of that section again. But when I clicked NEXT, FF resumed the search from the last hit, and not from the insertion pointer's position.

Is that the way it's always been? It doesn't seem right to me...

(I also tried repositioning by clicking the text, then CTRL-HOME; no difference.)

I have noticed that as well.  Like you I assumed that moving the cursor to another area in the code would have moved the starting point for the search. 
Another odd behavior I have noticed is that FIND doesn't always find all occurances of the "searched for string" in all the modules, even though I have selected search entire project.

I too have also found that "all" occurrences are not always found when searching the entire project. However, there are times when it does and times when it does not. Inconsistent.
