Assume I start Notepad++ and load a text file.
Then I hit CTRL+F and the find dialog pops up.
From previous searches a pattern ("COmlexType") appears already in the search entryfield
(="Find what"). Much to my surprise all occurencies of this old pattern are merked with light green background color
in the edit window. Why?
As I found out the leight green background color ist derived from the setting in
Style Configurator->Change Marks->Changes: Saved
But I never changed anything in this file. So why is marked anyway?
On the other side I would expect a style entry in
Style Configurator->Search Result->found occurencies
How can I let Notepad++ mark only found occurencies for my current, last search not for old, outdated
searches?
What is the actual purpose of "Change marks" entries normally?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Change markers display either as a narrow bar or line highlighting, at your discretion. They mark a line that was changed since N+ was opened. They relate with replacing, since it is a change, but not with searching.
Several Global Style style items deal with search results:
* Smart HighLighting (is this feature enabled for you?)
* Find Mark style, used when the "Style found token" option is checked on a Find All request.
* Incremental highlight.
To remove markup left by the previous search, use the Clear button. To have this done on each search, check the Purge for each search checkbox. The setting is not remembered in config.xml.

Thx for the info.
I failed to find "the Clear button", or "the Purge for each search checkbox". Could you tell more precisely the path to them? TIA,
