Thank you! I really like the idea of "Find First" and "Find Next." To answer your questions:

1) Is that the behavior you seek (not moving the cursor if nothing is found)? Yes.

2) How do you get back to your editing location normally after doing a Find that actually finds something in Sigil-1.8? I don't usually need to return to the original editing location. If I happen to notice an unrelated problem nearby, I will copy a key phrase so that I can return to it after I finish the original F&R. When I start a F&R, I move the cursor to a point just prior to the first instance, click Find, then Replace. After I make sure my replacement did what I expected, I either do a Replace All or else I step through a few more replacements to make sure it is behaving as expected. On complicated regex replacements, I may step through one at a time using Find and Replace to verify each one is correct. This is why Find Next/Find First would be extremely helpful and would probably solve the issue for me. I don't really need to return to my original editing position.

If you could find a way to implement Find Next/Find First, that would solve my problem. Thank you so much.
