XF 2.1 Searching Templates

[clawbennett]

If this already exists, please excuse me, but I couldn't find a way to do it.

Love being able to search a string and find what templates the string is in. HOWEVER, when I open a template that has 700 lines in it, it would be nice to search within the templates for the string and have it show me the lines where it's located.

CTRL+F works really well.

Did not work in Chrome, at least not on a Mac.

It would not search within the code area.

Click on the code area first.

Or highlight the code and paste into Notepad ++. Make the changes you want. Highlight the code and paste back into the template.

As stated, clicking in the template and pressing CTRL+F opens a custom search tool.

Clicking the code area does not bring up the search for me. CTRL+F / CMD+F (I am on a Mac) does not pull up the search feature.
I did as djbaxter had mentioned and had to copy paste my changes into another application I use for coding html.

When clicking in the code area and hitting the find shortcut keys (in chrome, firefox, and safari) it only opens the standard FIND boxes. It does not bring up the search option in the code box.

Safari did allow a 'search' through the standard find command in the browser, but would not find anything below the scrolling margin.

Chrome screenshot below... using cmd+f while in the code area did not work.

If a search for a term that appears more then once, how can i jump to the second or third result?

Also, all results are highlighted on the first search, so all you should have to do is scroll down the page for other results - although, yeah, in longer templates it can be helpful to jump to them.
