Difference in Find & Find in Files "Find What" parameter

[hbr_in]

Hi Eran,

Just a small doubt.

Why does find does not search for parameter mentioned in Find in Files
To explain

1. Lets say 1st i did searched for a parameter "help" in find & found some results.
2. Now i do a search for parameter "new" using Find in files & found some results.
3. Now i click on the 1st result in Find results window. it will take me to the respective file.
4. lets say this file has more than 1 "new" & "help"
4. Here if i use F3 to search for "new", it still searchs for "help" rather than searching for "new"

Is this is intentional, then i would like to know why it is done.

Hope i made myself clear.

Hi Gururaja,

It's not a bug, it's a feature

this happens while the word "help" is still marked and simply pessing F3 will search for the marked word.
I absolutly love this feature

If you want to search for the last searchstring you have to remove the marking by simply clicking into the editor window.

saying marked do you mean higlighted in some color. If thats the case, NO the word "help" was not highlighted.

I searched for word "help".
got few results.
clicked on one result.
and then clicked at a different place in editor to deselct the search word "help"

Now i did find in files for word "new". in one file i had both "new" & "help". pressing F3still looks for "help" rather than looking for "new".

TIA

yes, I mean higlighted (I am not a native speaker and havn't found the right word for it)

this is working ok here (svn rev 1.0.2464)
what is showing in the searchpanel if you open it (by ctrl+f)
Have you used more than one tab for the search results?
And if so, does it made a different which tab holds the search results?

TIA
