You want to search from the current position, but specify "from the beginning
of the file to the end of the file" :)
Select text and try something like:
forward
```lua
local sFind = geany.selection()
if sFind == "" then
geany.message("Did you forget to select any text?")
return
end
local iFindStart
local iSelS, iSelE = geany.select()
if iSelS < iSelE then
iFindStart = iSelE
else
iFindStart = iSelS
end
local iS, iE = geany.find(sFind, iFindStart, geany.length(), {"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
geany.select(iS, iE)
else
geany.message("Not found.")
end
```
backward
```lua
local sFind = geany.selection()
if sFind == "" then
geany.message("Did you forget to select any text?")
return
end
local iFindStart
local iSelS, iSelE = geany.select()
if iSelS < iSelE then
iFindStart = iSelS
else
iFindStart = iSelE
end
local iS, iE = geany.find(sFind, iFindStart, 0, {"matchcase"})
if iS ~= nil then
geany.select(iS, iE)
else
geany.message("Not found.")
end
```
