Hi all,
When I use the find and replace tool in DW CC - and I search for some term – it brings up the multiple results in a tab view.
As I recall in previous versions, if I was to click on one of the results it would immediately locate that result in the Code View window. This was very handy. It does not seem to work anymore.
I would like to simply click on one of the results and have it is selected directly in the Code View window.
Q: How can I accomplish the same goal in the newer DW version?
In my case I have various sections listed throughout a page. They all start with something like <!-- section-name is ccc -->. so, if I search for "section-name" then it will find all of these. Then, I just want to click on the one I want and it will jump to the same in the Code View window.
Q: How best to do something like this? Maybe there is some newer, better way to do this?
To use Find and Replace in the way you're used to, select Find > Find and Replace in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F/Cmd+Shift+F). This brings up a modified version of the old Find and Replace dialog box. By default, this will search the entire current local site. Just change the "in" drop-down menu to Current Document, and work as before.
The drop-down menu is sticky, so it will remember your choice for future searches.

Make sure that the focus is in Code View. Click anywhere in Code View before double-clicking the result in the Results panel.
