Search in files; three-character string; Webuilder hang
Occasionally hangs on folder search of a three-character string (not necessarily of a "hexadecimal-looking" string. It hung yesterday looking for the string "sck" (without quotes). I had not saved my work, so I lost it. The search found two files, then showed symtom of working. Task manager showed "Not responding". I had to kill Webuilder and restart it. (I did not "send report".) I have not seen an update available specifically for this problem: is one available?

We need to be able to reproduce the problem. "Sometimes happens" usually are not easy to correct, because most likely it depends on particular set of files.
If you could be so kind and send us the set of files that lets to reproduce the problem at least 50% of the time, we could try to do something about it. Also I am wondering what was the number / count of files in the search?

I think I may see the problem, but then again...
The folder contains 1732 files, so it may be rather a pain to send it to you. The problem occurs 80% or more of the time. I think, though, that I have found the nature of the problem (I have placed a "suggested feature" comment.) The folder contains a *large* number of .jpg and .gif files. I think the search is entangling itself in these files. It would be better to limit my searches to source files: .css, .htm, .php, .asp, .js, etc. (However, this would involve one "search-in-files" per extension, which would be rather cumbersome: I have suggested a feature whereby one could limit the "search in files" to "text-only" files.) Does this sound to you as if I have likely deduced the problem?

The problem is - editor does not know what is a text file, it can only tell by extension, so you must provide extensions of text files. Try limiting the search to text files only predefined ones (try selecting something like *.htm;*.html;*.php;*.asp;*.css;*.js;*.txt;) and please let me know about the results.
Yes, that works perfectly
I apologize for having misused the "search in files" and wasted your time in responding, but thanks for your generous help nonetheless!
