The FIND or FIND&REPLACE features now (gedit 3.4.1) perform TWO functions
(only) (marked ** below)
For full generality, GEDIT should provide FIVE functions, shown below.
The issues are these:
[A] Are search-string remembered on a per-file basis of for all files
[B] Does search/replace operate on a per-file basis or over all files
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find-search-string should be
REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace-strings should be
REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace ALL should
OPERATE over ONE file or over ALL files.
The present offering (see two items marked **) is a bit schizophrenic:
** [1] find in present file
remember search string in-and-for the present file only.
[2] search&replace in present file
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for the present file only.
[3] find in present file
remember search string in-and-for ALL files (so searching can proceed file
by file on same search string)
** [4] search&replace in present file
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files only.
[5] search&replace in ALL files
remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files.

Title:
Enable Meta Search&Replace across all open tabs
Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
New
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gedit
gEdit should make it possible to have a meta search&replace function
(like, e.g., jEdit) that allows to S&R across all files that are
currently opened in tabs. This is very helpful when variables or other
entities should be having the same names across different files. A
simple tick box in the S&R dialogue would suffice. Thanks for
considering this.
