Feature Request: Option for *not* Auto-Populating Search Box #2373

When doing a Find (and/or Replace), I understand that it can be handy to have the search box auto-fill the text you are searching for with what is already highlighted. However, there are many times that I want to bring up the Find window and have it search for the last item I searched for (or, sometimes I will switch from doing a Find to doing a "Mark All" or what have you).

Would it be possible and practical to modify Notepad++ with one of the following two behaviors?

  1. Add an option in Settings to allow users like myself to turn off auto-populate (this is my Update bulgarian.xml #1 choice).
  2. If no text is highlighted, then do not auto-populate search box.

Thank you for your consideration.

Kevin
