      The “Find in all open documents” button is helpful, and I was wondering if there was a plugin or a way to limit the search to documents whose filename matches a certain pattern,
      For example
      *.bas;*.vbs
      would only look in .bas and .vbs files that are open, and
      *.*;NOT:*.ini;*.nfo
      would look in all open files EXCEPT *.ini and *.nfo files.

      Any help appreciated.

        @Meatball-Football ,

        If you want to filter which files are searched, the expectation was to use Find in Files rather than the Find feature’s Find in All Opened Documents command – and that Find in Files does have a filter syntax described in the hover text and in more detail at npp-user-manual.org in the section “Find in Files”
