      I’m often frustrated searching for a specific keyword in a document. I’d like a find direction that will search through the entire document. I was thinking being able to search from the current cursor position and find down. If there is no match, go ahead and search from the beginning of the document to the cursor position to potentially find the keyword. If not, no results are brought back.

        Hello Sun W Kim,

        May be I misunderstand you, but do you speak about the Wrap around option , in the Search dialog ?

        With that option, the search behaves, exactly, as you would like to :-)

        Cheers,

          Oh I see! I did not know that’s what the checkbox does! Problem solved… never mind! :)

            I found this useful, I was also struggling around the loop search which as far as I remember was always there. The wrap around was probably unchecked during the version update.
