The Multi-File Search Results Dialog

This dialog displays the multi-file search results. To learn about the multi-file search, see the Search for Text dialog.

The List of Matched Files shows the files where the search string is found. The file name is on the left and its directory is on the right. The line with green text right under this box displays information about the file selected in the box. "File in memory" means that the file is opened in the Source window. General information from FAT means the file is on disk, not loaded. The Preview area shows the source line with the found text string.

The Sort Files by area includes a radio button with four file sorting options. When the Consider Directory box is checked, the files are sorted with respect to their directories.

The Edit button opens the selected file in the new Source window and places the cursor on the line with the found string. The found string is marked with the background color. To check if there are other occurrences of the sought string in this file, press Ctrl+R or use the Next Search command of the Edit menu.

The Close button closes the dialog but the results are not lost. To reopen the dialog use the Display Multi-file Search Results button. You can also use the same command of the Edit menu or press Shift+F5. The files in the List of Matched Files box, which are opened in the Source window, will be marked with asterisks on the left.
