Why is separate search in a search result not supported?
I think it is quite easy to add support for search in selected files/folders and in search results: simply pass filelist to second instance.
E.g. TC may pass two paths to second instance, one for reqular search and second one for 'only selected': "F:\" "@C:\TEMP\123.LST" (two file lists should be sent in case of search in results when there is a selection). TC already supports searching in filelists so only a tiny change is required.

Sorry if I was not clear. I meant when no files are selected. Alt+F7 works, why not Shift+Alt+F7?MVV wrote:I think it is quite easy to add support for search in selected files/folders and in search results
The "search in" field is empty when doing Alt+F7. Does that have anything to do with it? That there is no default folder to search in when doing Shift+Alt+F7?

The problem is the lifetime of the temp file by which TC would pass the list. Also search in foreground uses more than just the names from the selected files, so it would require more changes to make this work.

LOL, I didn't notice the search was done in the search results when nothing is selected. I thought I had to first select all search results for that. Suggestion: Display "(Search results)" in the search in field instead of nothing.white wrote:Sorry if I was not clear. I meant when no files are selected. Alt+F7 works, why not Shift+Alt+F7?

I find it odd that when a panel contains search results, I cannot start an independent search window, enter something in the search in field and start searching. Suggestion: Allow separate search and fill Search in field with c:\ (or folder displayed in panel before search results?).
