From: "Fetherston, Tom" <tfethers@FORE.COM> Subject: "incorrect" implementation if incremental search There is another "quick find" (a dynamic menu item -- requires holding the option key to reveal it, or control-opt-s shortcut). This works as you wish and also allows the use of regex'es as search patterns. Its use should be in the revised manual (pre-release version). Of course it needs re-written for alpha 8 ;). Tom >Incremental searches (aka "quick find") don't work as they should (in my >opinion). Deleting any characters in the search string deletes the entire >string and leaves the cursor at the last place before the delete. This is >almost certainly not what the user wants: it would be nice if the delete key >removed characters one by one and the cursor backtracked in the text in >sync with the search string (the way it is done in emacs). The existing >behavior makes incremental searches useless, in my opinion.
