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. Rawdy On Nov 24, 6:09 pm, Andrew Myers <am2...@gmail.com> wrote: - 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. Andrew.

But it's pretty good.

You double click on a hit and it opens the file, locates the corresponding location in the file and highlights the hit. I don't find it that different to Homsite from what I can remember. Also, up and down arrows in the top of the search panel position the cursor on prev/next hit within the file and then across files. I think it's all right.
