This discussion is very interesting, because I assumed, like Turtle91, that "wrap" (whether restricted to the current file or for all HTML files) means starting from the current position and finding the very next instance, then the next instance, and the next, etc. until it reaches the end of the current file, at which point (if "All HTML files" is selected) it moves to the next file and continues the search. (I am assuming the direction to be searched is "down." If the search direction is "up," then the the "end" of a file would actually be the "top," etc.). When it gets to the end, it starts over (sort of like an automatic "Restart Search" button) and continues until it finds no more matches. If I replace the first match, then of course I would not be brought back to my original starting point because it would no longer match the search criteria. I think this is how Sigil has operated in the past, because I purposely have re-run searches, and I don't remember any missed matches.

In other words, my definition of "wrap" means that F&R just keeps cycling through the files until I stop clicking on "Find" or until it stops finding any matches.

Anyway, your points #1, #2, and #3 would work for me. I rarely use Saved Searches, so I can't speak to point #4.
