Search Results

The results of most searches that can return several hits will be displayed in a dockable panel (see Dockable Windows for more information). The results will be sorted on a per file and per line basis, and can be collapsed for each file (by doubleclicking the filename) (also see Folding).

Commands that make use of the facility are:

 

The results in the Search results window can be deleted using the DEL key, on an individual, per file or per search basis. They can be further manipulated using the right click popup menu for the window. Additionally, the text of the window is plain text that can be copied and asted for further processing. Double-clicking on a result will open that file and go to its location. Using the Open All right-click menu entry will open all of the files which the collection of displayed search results, collapsed or not, references.

Search->Switch to found results window shows this window if hidden and not empty, and toggles focus between it and the main Notepad++ window. When the window is not shown, Go to Next found result and Go to Previous found result navigate among results.

The results will be colored depending on the type of result. See  Styler Configurator for information on how to change these colours.
