      Is it just me - basic search (“find”) is broken? I noticed this first when searching for tab characters, which I can live with (thanks to Windows notepad.exe). But, really…

      Any ideas?

      Never had issues, update to v8.4.9 has not helped.

        You checked Match whole word only, which means that sign will not match RequestSigningCertificate.

          @R-W-0 ,

          Uncheck “match whole word only”: sign isn’t the whole word RequestSigningCertificate

          And to find a tab, either copy a tab from the document and paste it into your search field, or use \t with Extended or Regular Expression modes.
