Find All - doesn't search comments?
I'm not sure if this is intentional but I notice when using Find All it doesn't find any instances of the search text if it appears in commented code. I'm wondering if perhaps it should find in comments and maybe have an option check box to exclude comments from search? Or no?
Re: Find All - doesn't search comments?
I'm unable to reproduce it. Does it happen in php, html files; maybe you could give a sample? Also, make sure that if you're searching with "From Cursor" selected that cursor is before the text you're looking for.

Hmm yeah I might have had from cursor selected. It seems to be working ok now, sorry. Although with wrap at end selected I would have expected Find All to search the whole doc. If you use Find Next for example it does search the whole doc even with From Cursor selected. So I'm guessing the direction settings are for Find Next and the Origin settings are for Find All?
