------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 15 02:38:39 -0800 2006 ------- The "Find all" function seems to be ideal for a small document, because the highlight will not be effective if the matches are far from each other in a long document. (In such cases, the "Find next" would be useful.) But both these modes fall short of expectation if the user wants to rapidly navigate through the matches. In other words, if he wants to have random access to all the matching strings, especially in large documents, the existing mechanisms are not suitable. Suggestion: Show search results as nodes of the Navigator tree. Just like the "Headings" node in Navigator, add another node called "search results". Show the results of each search as a separate node under this supernode. >> Results should be stored only for the current session. >> When the user closes the file, give him an option to save the results (Writer should issue the warning: "The file is changed. Save it?"). If the results are not saved, the Navigator will not show the nodes when the file is opened the next time. >> Allow the user to select a node and delete it. >> Provide a program option to add search results as Navigator nodes. If the user unchecks this, then searches wil have no effect on the Navigator. >> Provide the same option in the "Advanced" options of the "Find" dialog. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
