    This would be the definitive feature for the Notepad++ find and highlight.

      That is because now with the find highlighting feature recently introduced you can use Notepad++ to read debugs and traces as you can highlight while you search.

      It would be very useful to have the option to find more than one pattern everytime so you can even save your search for future use. This is where the pipe | of regex becomes useful.

      The workaround is doing multiple searches not ticking the "Purge for each search" option in the Find dialog. With the pipe you could do this kind of search in just one time.

      Thanks!
