Saved Searchs Setting
Is there any way to have the [Search In] setting remembered on an individual saved search basis?
For example, I have a saved search that is for stylesheets (CSS.JPG) so I naturally select [All style files]. Then later I run a saved search that is useful only for text files (Text.jpg). Well, a lot (OK, most) of the time I forget to change to [All text files] and nothing happens Similarly, if I have it set to [Current file] and I wanted all text files, I missed a lot of other instances. I know the problem is on my side of the keyboard and the SW does everything correctly, but if there were a setting or a workaround, it would prevent a lot of head scratching |

No, there isnt. It's not something I am in favor of. It means that if you forget you have restricted a saved search to a aprticular context then it wont work as expected and there will be no visual indication of why. Not to mention the compilcations that arise when running multiple saved searches that could have different contexts.

I can see that it could be confusing sometimes also, but it's also confusing to run a saved search designed to be used on style sheets and overlook the [All text files] settings
I'll try to develop a better habit and remember to check Last edited by phossler; 07-20-2017 at 09:48 AM. |
