...instead of dialog, it is now subpane of editor windows. Also, IDE is now capable if incremental searches.

I am afraid the some of behaviour will need to be yet refined, but I hope this is the step in the right direction...

After some initial experiences, I have slightly change incremental search behaviour (e.g. it now always searches from the start).

Can this be optional?
Thanks.

Sure. Anyway, do you mean "Incremental" (which already is optional), or searching from the beginning?

Note that I have made the change after two weeks of using the feature, with incremental mode not searching from the start is really confusing IMO...

But I am definitely open to debate here to finetune this.

Well I agree with Novo,

Search from start is not what we usually expect for the "search" feature : find always starts where the cursor is currently positioned (this is true in many editors).
So if it goes all the way up the file each time ... this can get a little annoying I think

I repeat: This is only for "incremental" search. There were some confusing issues, e.g. you search for "Foo", found one, then decide that it might have been "foo", click "Ignore case", but that "foo" was before cursor and incremental search sees only things after cursor...

So once again, I am OK with adding "from cursor" option for incremental search, but I think it would only add more confusion...

Sorry for the delay with the answer.
I mean searching from the beginning.
Actually, current behavior of search is quite weird. Each time I need to search for something I get positioned at the first occurrence of a previously searched string (ESC won't restore my position). What I really want is to be able to search incrementally from my current position forward/backward, and optionally from the beginning/end of the document.

Thanks.

OK:

There is now "from cursor" option for Incremental find.

There is also a new option in Environment that can activate return to starting position on incremental find, when pressing Esc.
