| Title | Find - to allow AND/OR and also by whole word |
| Category | General |
| Description | CLOSED - Lack Of Interest
I would like to see the Find function in FH to have the same and better functionaltiy as Wordpad's. For example, Wordpad allows search to find whole words, not just if the search criteria is within a word. Also it performs it seach for contiguous words. AND and OR would also be useful because then search can be made for phrases or not. Currently FH's limited find functionality ONLY allows search for any word in a record. If a search for a phrase is made, many extraneous matches are shown which can sometimes make the whole point of searching using the Find useless. For example, say I wanted to search for King County*. FH will ONLY find records that mention King or County so I will get matches for Kingston as well as any mention of a County. If I want to search for "King County" (contiguous words) then I have to load Notepad to perform the search! Now that is saying something about FH's searching capabilties! Using AND and OR, or quoted text to look for contiguous words would make FH perfom just like nearly every other Windows program and many website's searches. * King County as in Washington, USA NOTE: This has been mostly fulfilled through Plugins 'Search and Replace' & 'Search and Return Result Set' NOTE 2: AND/OR not implemented but 'patterns' like Regular Expressions are supported - Mike Tate |
