    I use notepad++ because the "find all in current document" functionality.  I work with files of about 100 Meg.  Np++ open it in about a second (very good speed), then I do a find all ^(\*)[\*A-z], basically look for lines that start with *.  In a 1.5 million lines file, Np++ takes probably a second to find about 250 lines; which is excellent.  The problem is when I want to navigate the file using the found lines.  The first time that I click in a found line, it takes about 20 to 30 seconds to move the cursor to that line. After the first line is found, to find the next lines takes only one to two seconds (which is acceptable).  To get around the problem, instead of clicking on the found window, I tried  the search/go to.. fucntion (since the line numbers are listed on the find window).  It takes the same 30 seconds.  I noticed that 5.31 is a little faster than 5.4.1.  Also, in 5.4.1 if you click again on the find window Np++ crashes.  With files of ~15 Meg or so, the problem is not obvious.

    Thansk for a good software.

      I did install Scintilla, and try the "find in files" with the large file, and Scintilla does not have that problem.  So, it appears that something in n++ is causing the delay on the first search.  Hope this help to narrow down where the problems is. 

      thanks,

      i just like to say that he is right.
      i am programming in asp on a big system, something like 2,000 files. maby 1Gb.
      the N++ searching good but its true.
      1. sometimes its crush.
      2. when u search u cant navigate the file. u need to wait 20 sec for it to finish and then look on the result.
          it will be a good think if u will be able to navigate the open files in the time that it is searching.
      3. i was more happy if it was show me the result in the time that he find them and not wait to end of the search to see the results.
      4. after i finish my search and i close the result windows. i have no idea how to get him again.
         am i need to search the same word again to see the last result window ? ? ?

      5. with all this, Notepad++ is the best program that i work with it :) and it will stay like this!!!\

      Thanks,
      Roy Shoa.

        Regarding 4: Set a shortcut to "Switch to found results window" (might be F8 as default but i'm not sure)
