Description CnZhx 2018-01-18 22:27:26 UTC

Is it possible to add a pop-up warning message, which could be set to OFF if the user prefers, when the range is set as a large one, such as "in Open Files" or "in Folder"? When "Search and Replace" is set to search "in Open Files" or "in Folder" once, it sticks to this option to next search even after a long time. If the user overlooked this option because he/she forgot to check and assumed it's "In Current File", disaster could happen easily.

BTW, the use of uppercase of the options is odd. The I in "in" as in "In Current File" is uppercase but lowercase as in "in Open Files" and "in Folder".

I don't think any amount of warnings will prevent accidents some times. And such a feature could be annoying for users who are intentionally searching in the specified place. If we make it configurable, it will likely never get discovered by users.
