Quite often I view several consecutive matches before I decide if my search is actually finding what I intended. This means I don't start replacing until I have already stepped through the first several matches. I also don't necessarily replace every match I find, so I like to cycle through again in case I want to change my decisions. I am learning to live with Sigil ending a search when it decides instead of me deciding, since all I have to do at that point is select Restart. The problem comes when I click on Count All and see "3 matches found," but when I click on Find I see "No matches found." Then I click on Restart and now Count All tells me "8 matches found."
"3 matches found" or "No matches found" or "8 matches found"--all for the same search criteria, depending on what buttons I have or haven't clicked or where I am in the search--that's what I find problematic.
I know you are exasperated and frustrated with those of us who do not use Find and Replace as you do, but this new behavior causes me me to double- and triple-check my work constantly. I understand that there are reasons for changing Find and Replace. I am trying to train myself to Restart searches from the top file in a group. I realize too that you are volunteering your time to make Sigil the best epub editor on the planet. I use it every day and thank you for it. This will be my last post on the subject.
