Firstly, thanks everyone for the ongoing feedback, we have been hoping to see more comments like these to help us fine tune things.

Hmmm, it seems to work fine for me? You are definitely clicking OK and not Cancel right? Try selecting some text in Code View, right-click and choose Add to Clip Editor. Give it a name, click OK. Open the clip editor (Tools->Clip Editor) and confirm it is still there? Then close Sigil, reopen it and verify whether it is now there?
Let us know how you get on. If that works, try the same thing but just adding a single Clip Entry. Also what Operating System/Sigil version?
The entries are stored in your Sigil settings file along with all your other settings. Are other things saved like keyboard shortcuts, window positions etc?

I tried with right-click, I tried with Control. I can insert text in the first column (name) but nothing in the find and replace columns.

The easiest way to add items to the Search Editor is to simply type your text into the actual Find and Replace area in the main window, then right-click in the Find dropdown and choose "Add to Searches". At that point you give it a name and job done. That same right-click in the Find dropdown also allows you to retrieve searches.
As Serpentine said double-clicking *currently* allows you to edit an item inside the Search Editor itself. However that behaviour is in discussion - it is a work in progress

Funnily enough we did briefly look at that at one point, but it fell off the priority list. It just adds a little complexity to some of those Preferences panes as they now must defer applying changes to the end. I agree 100% it should have such functionality though one day. It is on the list.
