      When using the find tool, it would be great to have the total count of occurrences and the current one found always displayed, something similar to what already available when searching in a browser (see picture below)

      Thank you

        @andrea-nuzzi ,

        it’s not exactly what you want, but Search > Incremental Search is the feature meant to mimic the browser-style previous/next/count dialog:

        7dabdc2e-0f41-4569-99da-d27a9341cbe0-image.png

        It gives the text and the number of matches, but doesn’t tell you how far through. However, the Status Bar just below the Incremental Search bar will give you an indication of where you are in the document.

        Other than that, we have a FAQ on how to request new features – you could request that the current match-number be added next to the number of matches in the Incremental Search bar.

            I would also need this. I’m commenting because I can’t upvote yet.

              We in the Community are fellow users. Telling us you want the feature won’t tell the developer that you want the feature.

              last year, @Alan-Kilborn linked to the still-open feature request here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11118

              if you want the developer to know that there are more people who want this feature, you need to add a comment in that open feature request.
