Yes, this is new search behaviour as described in the release notes.

If your Find and Replace is set to any group of files (all, selected, or tabbed html for example) and you start a new search by:

a) hitting the new Restart button or
b) changing the targeted files, or
c) changing the actual find string

search will then start with the first file of the group and proceed from there in proper order. Wrap is no longer meaningful for targeted groups of files.

If your search target is Current File and not a group of files, then search and Wrap will act as it did before.

So remember to set your search target appropriately.


This change prevents searches from being incomplete (files left out inadvertently), and the manual Restart button allows you to override things to force the search order to begin again from the first file of the group.

This change also allows users of Saved Searches to use Saved Search Groups to skip a replacements at will and still continue with the search group. This was one of the To-Do items put forward by users that makes Saved Search Groups much faster to use safely.

So please set your Search Target files appropriately as new searches will process them in that order (selected, tabbed, or all).

It is a change, but one that allows heavy duty lifting to be done more easily via Saved Search Groups which now can control the search target via Controls.

Hope this helps.

For the first time today I used version 1.9.0 and all seemed OK until I tried a search and replace. On completion of the S&R operation focus is taken away from the file I was working on and switches to the first file listed in Book Browser (cover.xhtm) in my case.

It makes no difference whether or not the file is open for editing - I tried it with cover closed and any search and replace operation opens the file and switches focus to it.

I never experienced this with 1.8, and it's bit annoying to have to keep switching back to the file I am working on.

Any ideas?
