As described in the gedit help at https://help.gnome.org/users/gedit/3.8 /gedit-search.html.en :
- You can press Enter to cancel a search and retain the current cursor position. (This behavior is admittedly not consistent with other GNOME applications; see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699658 for a request to change this.) - Right click the magnifying glass icon or the search text to get to search options (match case, match whole world, wrap around). I'm marking this bug as invalid because it mentions several different issues, some of which were due to not understanding gedit's current interface. Feel free to open up new bugs for individual specific issues. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #699658 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699658 ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1136644 Title: gedit search function is not practical anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1136644/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
