#358 Grep Search no longer defaults to the selected control on a form
This helpful feature that worked in a previous GExperts version does not work anymore in r4196:
When activating the GREP SEARCH dialog while a control is selected and focused in Form Designer, then the Name of the control was set as search term in the Grep Search dialog.
That was a very helpful feature, as it saves a lot of time when searching for the name of a control in the source code.

The summary is correct. But is this bug intentional? I remember a blog post from you several years ago where you mentioned that you introduced this feature because several users requested it.

No, it's not intentional. I merely made the summary more descriptive. I didn't close the bug report.
I can not reproduce this issue with the current source code (revision #4246). It works fine with Delphi 2007, 10.2 and 12. It's possible that another change fixed this as well.
If the problem still exists, please create a new bug report stating the Delphi version where it happens.
