Notepad++ / Discussion / [READ ONLY] Open Discussion: Feature Request: extend search charact limit

Nobody/Anonymous - 2008-02-15

I'm trying this nice OS editor but...
I'm having many troubles with the search feature: when I select more than 63 (!?!?) chars and hit CTRL+F, the "Find:" field does contains the previous less-than-64-chars string... why can't I search a 200-length string?

Even worse: there's no way to search for one or many line of text! How am I supposed to replace, foe example, a couple of lines with another couple?

Thank you in advance...

  Yes.I have same problem as the previous. Seem that it only handle up to 258 chrs (as word counted). Is there anyway to extend to limit? Hope to see this change to unlimited chrs. Btw, notepad++ is very cool although every problem that I encountered is related to the size limitations (e.g. opening large file, and etc...)
  
  Many thanks...

    Try using a regex to reduce the number of characters. You can find some examples on the forums.

  In might be a nuisance, but you could do the find/replace in stages. That's a pretty big one and I'd be interested to know what you're doing with it.

    Maybe copy-and-pasting an error message to search for it in log output?

      Searching for "replace+long" will include the following match:
