   Hi Simon,

   If in a line only one word is located, and this is selected, so this word don't include in the find text.

   you write in the findex.cpp:

   // Need to decide if we want to put the dialog into "Replace In Selection" mode
   // and whether to include the selected text as the find text.
   // Rules:
   // There is a selection AND
   // (The selection runs from the first character on the line to the last OR
   // The selection spans multiple lines OR
   // The selection is longer than 1024 characters)

   is there a reason that a selected line (The selection runs from the first character on the line to the last) not included in find text?

   Thanks,
   Klaus

   Hi Klaus,

   I suspect that more often than not when you select a whole line you want to do a Replace in Selection rather than find that whole line again. Of course this will never work for all situations. These kind of things always work for 80% of people.

   If you have a suggestion to alter the logic to improve it in most cases without removing the current convenience then please go ahead! I guess that if there's only one word or, perhaps, a fairly short line that this becomes less likely again.

   Simon.

   Hi Simon,

   Sorry, i don't understand you!

   examble:
   Line1: hello world
   Line2: sorry
   ...

   I would find the word "sorry" in my text file:
   I select "sorry" and press "strn f" -> the word sorry is not in the find text !
   or I would find the text hello world in my text file:
   I select "hello world" and press "strn f" -> the text "hello world" is not in the find text !

   i see no reason to accept the complete line!

   can you give me an example why this not work for all situations?

   when i want replace in selection, and the compete line is in the find text, so was replaced the complete line and after the replace is nothing selectet in the text-file.
   now i can click at search current document and find next, so i find the next place with the text in "find text".
   That is ok, or?

   Thanks
   Klaus
