    you can search the next equal text by selecting a word and then press F3. This is only possible, if F3 holds not the string you have searched last. What you mean about this.

    Should DEV-php search with holding search string or not.
    Thanks for your postings.

      This is against the standard Find/Find Next scenario in Windows - from Notepad to all programmers tools from Microsoft.

      I prefer the following way: allways remember (and Find Next) last searched text - do not care selection, it makes possible to move carret down the document and then start finding next again.

      Some proposal:
      1. Select text and then press Ctrl+F3 for find first and then F3 for find next.
      2. Press Ctrl+F to open "Find dialog box", enter your text and accept then F3 for Find Next.
      3. Select text and pess Ctrl+F to open "Find dialog box" filled with this selected text.

        "This is only possible, if F3 holds not the string you have searched last."

        I think it means the same as you:
        "allways remember (and Find Next) last searched text - do not care selection"

        ;-)

      Version 2.0.8 - almost perfect ;) Thanks!

      But:
      I (pesonally) would not call (and let it act)  "Ctrl+F3" as "Find selected text from top".
      Just find first - start seaching for given text FROM current cursor position insead of begin of a document.

      And what to do at the end of the document? Nothing (like now)? Just wrap and start searching form begin? Ask for wrap?
