Hello!It took me a while to figure out how to run a multifile search, and I have questions about it:Is there a way to link the search with ctrl-F like in any other software?What is the search icon supposed to represent? I thought it was the tip of a fountain pen, therefore unrelated to search. Is it the tip of a fountain pen? Is it something else? In any other software, the search tool is like a magnifying glass. I'm not against innovation when it evolves towards clarity and ease of use.P

Question

Multifile search

Hello!

It took me a while to figure out how to run a multifile search, and I have questions about it:

Is there a way to link the search with ctrl-F like in any other software?
What is the search icon supposed to represent? I thought it was the tip of a fountain pen, therefore unrelated to search. Is it the tip of a fountain pen? Is it something else? In any other software, the search tool is like a magnifying glass. I'm not against innovation when it evolves towards clarity and ease of use.

It is a flashlight :) (or spotlight - for Apple users)

The other icon that resembles a tip of a pen highlights all occurrences of the search string in text.

Hello @Community member

I suggest that you try the CTRL+H shortcut.
