G’day

I’m sure I’ve asked this before, but I cannot find the thread.  And I’m pretty sure I never got an answer.  Sorry for the repetition.


Is there any way of disabling CFB’s "ColdFusion Search" dialogue (the one one gest when pressing CTRL-F), and just use Eclipse’s default Find/Replace one?

Cheers.

Dammit.  My trial expired so - pleasingly - ColdFusion Search was disabled for me. Win!  However I've just rebuilt my machine and have a fresh CFB install on it, and so I'm back in "trial mode", so the ColdFusion Search is back again.

Has anyone yet found a way to disable this?

Or can I end my trial and just go to the free version of CFB with the functionality disabled?

Unortunately Adam, I haven't found a way to disable it, and I don't think there is. Adobe has never responded to my inquiries or has even acknowledged this as being a defect, which blows my mind. And it's weird that nobody else has raised this issue either. Do people do local searches in their files anymore?

I'm still using CFB 1, and waiting to give Adoble my money for CFB 2 with either 1) a way to disable CF Search, or 2) completely fix all the UI issues with CF Search, like saving the damn dialog position - that would be a huge improvement!

I would also like to use the built in Eclipse Find Dialog (at least until all the kinks are worked out of the ColdFusion Search). There really needs to be a way to do this!!! Please CFB Team... give us a workaround so we can disable ColdFusion Search!!!
