Bug ID: 154961
Summary: Enhancement needed: option to preserve recent Find
targets at FileSave dialog box to be available at next
session reopening same document in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: car...@gmail.com
Description:
Working on a large text document in Writer, I can search for (say) “Bug report”
and edit the section. Then I can search for (say) “Linux commands”, read some
text, then use Search again to return to “Bug report” easily. All my recent
search texts are available in the Find window by scrolling using the arrow
keys.
When I save the document and close Writer, how can I get Writer to save those
search texts with the document? When I re-open the same document tomorrow to
continue editing, they have all vanished - but I will often need to re-visit
the same locations in the document where I edited yesterday.
If this is currently impossible, could it be added as an option in the FileSave
dialog box?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a document, use Find&Replace to navigate to several locations
2. save document and exit LO.
3. reload LO and reopen same document
Actual Results:
Try Find&Replace: no items are retained from previous session.
Expected Results:
Find box should retain last location searched for in previous session, and
allow scrolling up through other locations used in that session.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I realize that the Navigator can be used to reach frequently-used locations in
a document. It is true that these could be bookmarked, for use in subsequent
sessions.
In actual editing of long documents this would be tedious. I will often
complete edits to one portion of a document (and will not need to revisit it in
the near future). But I will frequently have to end a session while still
working on the LAST section. On resuming, I will need to revisit nearly all
the sections which refer to the section I'm editing.
