Dw CC 18.x: Save "Find/Replace" results

[WolfShade]

Hello, all,

I seem to remember in previous versions of Dw that if I did a find or find/replace, I could save it for future reference.  I'm using Dw CC 18.2.1, and I'm not seeing this ability.  Or is it just not intuitive and I'm skipping right over it?

I believe the ability to store and re-use search queries ended with the 2017 version.

It was removed in 2017, well, hidden anyway. 

We were given instructions on how to "un-hide" it in that version, but Save and Load are back by default in CC 2020...

Hi, Nancy,

Thank you for your reply.  It doesn't surprise me.  Adobe keeps removing helpful things, and adding things that are either not ready or not intuitive or something no one actually needs.  smh..

Submit a feature request for support of F&R regular expression stored queries from your DW Help Menu.

Thanks for the idea, Nancy.  I did, and voted for others asking for the same thing.. but I have a bad feeling that since I'm on Dw CC 18 and v20 is out, it's not going to happen.

If it ever sees the light of day, it will come to a future release version, certainly not in 2018, 2019 or 2020.

Sorry for interrupting.
Have you ever checked below post?

I believe this feature should be enabled by default in current 2020 builds.....
Please forgive me if I misunderstood....

This must be what Jon Fritz was talking about.  That did it!  I had to get someone else to modify the registry, coz we're not allowed to on GFE systems, but it worked!  Thank you.
