Feature Request: FIND ENHANCEMENTS

    Could you PLEASE remember the last state of the find dialog, across sessions. Particularly:
    - Display Position (or default to MIDDLE so you can see context); I frequently search for a word and need to see a few lines below it. e.g. Search an ntbackup log looking for " complete".

    Could you PLEASE allow find options to be set in preferences. Particularly:
    - turn OFF wrap.

    Could you PLEASE ungrey the up/down directions when middle is selected. Correction: When you select up, don't grey out Display Position. And, having chosen, middle, don't unselect up/down. (I forget which direction I was going in.)

    I've just updated to 4.7. I see that some of the comments above are no longer accurate, or not exactly / precisely described.

    Hopefully you will be able to follow my intent rather than strictly the writing. Remember / allow options to set find defaults, such as no wrap. And don't grey/blank out anything under any circumstances. Or rather, if you must grey out, don't also blank out - the current direction should always be displayed, even if it is the required / default.

    Thanks. And _THANKS_ so much for the app.

    Kind regards.

      I've asked this before in a less urging manner (PLEASE, ARE YOU DYING?), so I guess it's not all that important. I find it annoying, too, but hey, I still live.

      Would have been nice, though, if you had posted your message as a reply to earlier requests, so it would have been visible how long it takes to process a request. :)
