I have the same issue with Dreamweaver crashing in Version 21.2, but I see this when I'm running a full-site search.

Agreed that this is super-annoying.

@MPindaHouse,

Which OS do you have?

Crashes are usually indicative of something deeper like corrupted Preferences or bad user permissions.

Please Restore DW Preferences and see if that helps.

If DW continues to crash, check your crash logs (aka Windows Event Viewer) to see what faulting module is causing DW to crash.

In some cases, app crashes are caused by Creative Cloud Desktop App. And reinstalling CC Desktop App solves the problem.

Thank you both.

I have removed the contents of the preferences folders in my Users directory and (apart from losing my workspace setup), it does look like searches are currently no longer crashing the application.

Sorry I missed including details of my OS - I currently run Windows 10.
