Just a random thought (note: I don't have/see any of those issues people
seem to have with the product - I actually think the search works great)...
Have you guys ever tried to make those suggestions/rants to Adobe. Not to
Adobe corporate - we all know that it's ... well... rather difficult to get
through to them.
But to the CF/CF Builder product/engineering team directly? To (ex)-folks in
product management like Adam or Rakshith? To Hemant or Rupesh in engineering
management? Or to Terry? They've been to events like webDU or cf.O(ANZ) in
the past - or - hey, actually just last week. The CF product team is _by
far_ the easiest-to-approach product team within whole Adobe. If anyone
_honestly_ wants to get in touch with those guys and help to improve the
software so that it's more useful for you or your team or your whole company
- I'm more than happy to put you in touch, just let me know.
Instead of complaining how much one misses Homesite or how bad one thinks
CFB is etc - do something about it if you don't like it. Give direct
feedback. Ask them for solutions/workarounds. Ask them to be part of
pre-release programs and contribute in there. But don't magically expect a
tool that's exactly doing what you want it to do and exactly how you want it
to be done.
Just saying,
Kai
I'm so glad I'm not the only one.
I have tried so hard to like it. This is my second go at using it and
I have been on it for 6 months or more now and I still don't like it
nearly as much as HomeSite+.
Might be a great CFUG to demo a few other options like IntelliJ etc.

- The search is just useless really. If you search for
something in a project, it would be much more useful if you could
drill down into the line in the file where the search instance appears
instead of having to hunt through the file
CTRL - F, change scope to projects, select a project, press find all,
and you get a search results view which has a tree view which has
next match / previous match options, and expands to show each match
in each file. Click it to go to the exact line of the match. By
default the search view opens in the right hand pane. I prefer to
move it to the bottom pane (somewhere near the servers view). If
you're not seeing it go to Window - Show View - Search
- Searching in the file you are working on/have open is
flakey. I always get a No file open message and im like WTF? I
have to select a different source and then choose the Current document
option again for it to work.
Have never seen this myself. Has anyone else noticed it?
- There is no direction option for the search which means if
you want to search the whole document you have to scroll to the top of
the document for it to search the whole thing
In the CTRL - F dialog there is a search backwards option I
also like to to enable the Wrap search option too
- You have to open a new search box for every file you have open.
I don't see this behaviour at all. CTRL - F allows you to repeat
your search on every open file - select files using the workspace
editor tabs and repeat the search in there if you want.

Also, from an open File you can do CTRL F which brings up a find
dialog similar to Dreamweaver where you can search current document,
all open documents, project, workspace, etc.
Initially I disliked this, because it is different to Eclipse's
default behaviour. But it's pretty good.

So, you go into Search / Find in Files (top menu), create and select a
Working Set to point to a path, provide a string, hit search, and then
under the search tab in the lower right panel, you get a tree
structure with a drillable list of hits. You double click on a hit
and it opens the file, locates the corresponding location in the file
