Last Modification in the Editor

[kovidgoyal]

If you dont like the fuzzy search mode dont use it, normal will be restored to what it always was, in the next release.

Personally, I love to be able to search for "some words" and have it find them even if there is a line break between the words. Or search for "don't" and find it even if in the actual text a typographical quote is used for the apostrophe.

When I need to do precise searches, I use regex mode, that's what it is there for, but whatever floats your boat, I am all about giving people options

I just realised I misinterpreted your statement. Restoring the old normal search and adding another search type works for me. I don't actually use the normal search much, mainly when I can't be bothered escaping characters. Or when I'm trying to work out why the regex didn't work.

I'd mostly only use Editing for CSS, I'd edit the actual book, if major edit needed, in a wordprocessor.
And I do use regex in the WP to find errors the eye tends to skip when proofing, such as incorrect quotes, missing spaces, comma & stop mixed up.

I do like to remove line spaces in the code doing a search for a double return and replace with a single return. When I remove some lines form the CSS, I also include the line end so I don't have line spaces.

When the code has needs cleaning up because it's messily formatted, normal search gets used. Can't use it now. I was hoping we'd get a 4.13.1 version as (I think) this is a rather serious change that needs to be undone. I can see a lot of people who use the editor messing up their eBooks because normal search doesn't work correctly.

Thank you. You're the best, as always.

When can we expect the next version of Calibre with the fuzzy search mode? I'm finding I sometimes need the fix to the shift selection and would appreciate the new version. Thanks.

I would like to ask this as well. Forgetting myself and trying to replace double spaces with single spaces in Normal Search and ending up with a big mess is very annoying.

probably next week.

You can do what I did. I want back to 4.12 and I'm skipping 4.13.
