How are you replacing the NSTextView contents when switching files? The 'reset' call for NSTextFinder when the client's content changes is -noteClientStringWillChange. NSTextView is supposed to invoke this during -shouldChangeTextInRanges:replacementStrings:. It's also invoked during -[NSLayoutManager setTextStorage:], so when you switch your NSTextView contents, you could load the new file's contents into a new NSTextStorage instance, then invoke [[textStorage layoutManager] replaceTextStorage:newTextStorage]. -KP > Am I going about this all the wrong way?
