| Searching via Ctrl+F doesn't work for me very well - it returns randomly an occurrence of the sought word.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? | | Top |

| | Shouldn't be random occurances of the word unless it's pulling partial matches. All searches should run from top down or bottom up in order. If you only want it as part of a certain phrase, try expanding the search match to contain the word before or after what you are looking for. |

| Can you give an example? Show a line which matches and one which doesn't.
Are you using regular expressions? Is it case-sensitive? Are you searching forwards or backwards? |

| No regexps. Forwards and backwards. It happens at least every fifth search).
I'll try to provide a line once it happens again.. | | Top |
