Currently, when you do a Find operation in XCE you can
search either Up or Down: this is a big limitation for
the user, because you have to manually place the cursor
at the beginning (or end) of the document and search
"Down" (or "Up") to be sure that the search be done on
the whole document.

As it is the norm in most editors, it would be
preferable to also have a "wrap search" option
activated by default. That would make a search/replace
operation easier for the user.

    I couldn't agree more. My goal is to provide a search and
    replace panel that wraps automatically. I would also like to
    add regular expressions and an 'all documents' option to
    this, so the existing Find, Replace and Global Replace could
    all go. The first step, though, will be to add a robust
    panel system, and this is something I'm working on.
