    The search window ought to open with all matches when searching through entire files.

    I have un-purposely undocked the search window, and not I no longer can make it re-appear.

    I have tried:

    • uninstall and re-installation of the program
    • searching for open windows not visible on screen (CMD + Space --> M)

    Can somebody help?

    Thanks

    /Rune

      You may try the following:

      • Close NPP if it is running
      • In Windows Explorer, navigate to %APPDATA%\Notepad++
      • Open config.xml not using NPP. Windows Notepad will do
      • Near the bottom of the file you will find a tag <GUIConfig name="DockingManager"...</GUIConfig>. Remove the tag and its subtags
      • Save the file
      • Restart NPP

      Now if you start a search, the search results window should appear docked at the bottom again.

        You of course read the FAQ section of this site when you first came here, right?
        And you saw THIS didn’t you?
        But that must not have helped?
