Re: New search implementation in the IDE

[BB <adamnt42@xxxxxxxxx>]

1) I've got to agree with M Steers. In addition, it's too far away from 
the search results browser.

2) The search results browser doesn't seem to be updating properly 
anymore. A couple of oddities are

2a) changing the case of a search token in the code when using a case 
sensitive search e.g. I search for a mispelled property name such as say 
"decibels" which is "deciBels" everywhere else in my code. Fine, the 
search results browser pops up showing where the bad line is. But when i 
goto that line and correct it, the search results browser still shows 
the old "incorrect" version and doesn't disappear from the list. Didn't 
corrections like this automatically update the search results?

2b) This is really a variant of 2a but if I change something else on the 
line in question say I am looking for occurrences of lowercase  "value" 
and then change "Dim value As String" to Dim Value As Integer" then this 
does not update the search results! This is BAD.

3) On the whole though, when all is said and done, after adding a 
toolbutton to the RHS of the main toolbar where the old search box used 
to be and getting used to the newness, its not too bad! 😁

4) But, finally, the search browser now has two close buttons that look 
exactly the same but do different things. Not good desgin (sic).
