Hi Ashjuk,
It is supposed to do that. The wrap flag only has meaning in Current File mode. Since any search in Current File could start in the middle of that file and miss things, the wrap indicator flag tells it to go back to the start of that file and start searching again. It has always worked like that.
But when you set the target to All HTML files and search, it will now always start at the top of the first file (in BookBrowser order) and proceed sequentially from there. That is what you are seeing.
You asked it to run a search on ALL html files (not selected or tabbed) and so it will do exactly that. But it does that not starting from where it is now, which can miss replacements at the top of the file, it will always start with the first target file in the set.
Once complete, it will not go back to where the search started as it needs to process ALL html files as you told it to. Wrap has nothing to do with this behaviour as wrap has meaning in Current File only search.
Before giving up, have you thought about running your multiple searches from Saved Searches and just skipping over replacements you decide you do not want?
Hope this explains things better.
Kevin

Despite trying all of the suggestions on how to operate the new S&R I still can't make it do what I want.
I have tried doing a S&R on the current file, then switching to All HTML files and running it again with the wrap box ticked. This still takes me to the first file in the book.
In my mind, if you have selected 'wrap' it should wrap around back to the starting point of the search - the exact point in the file that I was working on and not the first file.
So if someone can tell me how to do a S&R on All HTML Files and have the focus returned to the exact point I was when I started the S&R then I would be grateful.
Otherwise, I am going to stick with 1.8, as that works for me the way I prefer.
