Yes, that works fine if I'm working in F&R dialog box, but doesn't work when I'm working in Saved Searches window. With Saved Searches, the only way to Restart is to load a new search then go back to the one I was working with. Going to F&R dialog to hit Restart does not cause Saved Searches to Restart in the Saved Searches window. I have to hit Restart then continue in the F&R dialog box instead. Or load a new search in the Saved Searches window then go back to the one I was working with. It's confusing to work this way. A Restart button in the Saved Searches window would solve this for me.

I do this, too! I thought I was weird. (Though I suppose it just means we're both weird
)

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 ...

Ditto. And I also appreciate all your time and effort on Sigil, which is one of my favorite programs.

It should never switch to 8 unless you changed the search group to include other files.

Yes, this works in the F&R dialog box, but it doesn't work in the Saved Searches window. I get odd Count All results in the Saved Searches window, which I'm still trying to figure out what's going on so I can explain ...
