This dialog allows to setup search and replace patterns for searching in multiple files.

Setup the options and click the Find button at the bottom to start the search. A window will open showing the progress. It contains a button to abort the search, if it takes too long. When all files are searched the Search Results window will open.

• Text to find
• Replace - check this to enable the replace text field.

Options

• Case sensitive - distinguish lower and uppercase (for example 'a' and 'A')
• Whole words only - found text must start and end at a word boundary (position between word-chars and non-word-chars)
• Regular expression - treat texts as IDE regular expressions
• Multiline pattern - for reg-expressions, activates option "dot means also newlines"
