      I am trying to use the find tool and it used to tell me where it found a particular string on a new line for each find but I seem to have lost that feature did it go away or is it a setting that I can bring back.

        @Richard-Bruce ,

        If I am understanding correctly, you are looking for a panel or subwindow that shows all the results at once, rather than having to Find Next for each new match. If this is correct, then you want to hit the Find All in Current File, which will open or focus that panel/sub-window (called “Search results”), which shows all the results.

        The menu operation Search > Search Results Window (F7 default) toggles that window (as long as there are results in the window; if no find-all has been run, it won’t appear when you choose that).

        I believe that’s what you want.

            find all … it used to show each find as a new line

            Uncheck this setting:
