      find in files doesn’t do anything, please get rid of it
      it’s just there for the sake of existing

              The feature is not a waste of time. I have used that feature for more than a decade. It would be a waste of time to spend time to remove it (and be a huge annoyance to people to have relied on it for more than a decade).

              Now, if you mean, you don’t care about that feature, that’s fine. But why would you want it removed?

              If you mean, you are having difficulty using it, and would like help, then @donho pointed you to my post, which list a few debugging techniques which would help us help you. I will reiterate them:

              • Try with all plugins disabled, to make sure it’s not a plugin issue
              • share ?-menu’s Debug Info
              • share your FIND WHAT (use ` before and after your search, like `my.*search` , so that the Forum doesn’t “eat” your search characters as post-formatting)
              • share all the options in the Find in Files dialog (Filters, Directory, Search Mode, other checkboxes – a screenshot would be easiest)
              • does your directory contain *.lnk to files or other directories? or windows junctions or symlinks or hardlinks?

              So if you’d like help with it, feel free to provide actual information. If you don’t want help, that’s fine.

              also why the !@$!#@$ does your website need a clout system???

              The reputation system prevents spammers from flooding this forum with links to their ad farms. The minimum reputation to upvote or downvote will keep spammers from creating multple accounts to be able to upvote themselves, so that they can get around the posting limits for users with low reputation.

              [image of “You need 5 reputation to downvote”]

              Also, there is irony in someone complaining about a reputation system because they didn’t have enough reputation to use the reputation system to dowvote.

              this site sounds like it was designed by an @#$@#$#@$ tiktok kid oh my god

              Notepad++ moved to a NodeBB-based forum in 2015. TikTok was created in 2016. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant.

              why the @#$@@#$
              isnt @$@#$@ funny
              site sounds like it was designed by an @#$#@$# tiktok kid

              There’s a whole section devoted to those who just want to whine and curse, and not actively discuss and/or seek help.

              If you actually want help, and meaningful discussion, feel free to reply here. If all you want to do is curse and whine, create a topic in that section, or go find something more productive to do with your time.
