search skips to next file

valarcher · 08-09-2024, 11:21 AM

Hi - my Sigil used to search only in the file/chapter I chose. Now it - ver 2.2.1 - skips to the next file/chapter. It's really frustrating because I want to search only the specific file I'm in and not have it skip to all the following .xhtml's until it reaches the end of the book! I looked in preferences but can't see how to switch this off. It never used to do it. Thanks for your help! - Val

First thing I would check is if you have the F/R settings set properly. On the 3rd line, where it says 'Mode:' check the dropdown in the middle that shows which files to apply the search to. 'Current File', 'All HTML files' etc. are some of the options.
