Hi Felix,
I had a similar problem, when programming my last stack, on Mac OS X, 10.4.6; Rev 2.6.1

In this stack, I search the field of one card for all occurencies of a textToFind (one word or phrase), in this card only (in order to highlight all these occurencies).
Like you, I don’t want the "find" be skipping to next cards.
I remember that I tried « fld of this cd » but it did not work.

So, thanks to several members of this list (specially Jacque Landman Gay), below is how I proceed.

Hope it helps

Best regards from Grenoble

1- ordinarily, all cards in my stack have their dontSearch property set to true 2- But for other functions, I need search cards : so I have two handlers in the stack script I can call when necessary :
(I translate roughly certains terms from french)

on permitSearch
 put the cardNames of this stack into cardsList
  repeat for each line tCd in cardsList
    set the dontSearch of tCd to false
  end repeat
end permitSearch


on resumeDontSearch
  put the cardNames of this stack into cardsList
    repeat for each line tCd in cardsList
    set the dontSearch of tCd to true
  end repeat
end resumeDontSearch

When on the right card, my handler is :

on highLighting
   repeat
      find whole textToFind
      if the result is "not found" then exit repeat
      set the backgroundColor of the foundText to "Burlywood1"
   end repeat
end hithLighting

In order to be able to execute this handler on the current card only, I have 2 other handlers in the stack script :

on preOpenCard
  then set the dontsearch of this cd to false
end preOpencard

on closeCard
  set the dontsearch of this cd to true
end closeCard

Hi,

I have a problem, I want to search a shared field for
all occurencies of TextToFind.
But what happens is:
if I search with find chars, after finding all
occurencies of TextToFind in the first card it skips to
the next card and find the same TextToFind places
in the shared field there. Setting the dontsearch propertys
of all cards but the current one to true does not change anything.
How can I achieve my goal to search the shared text field
only in the current card?

Felix
