Where did the Quick Search button in the Script Editor Go?
Hi all,
I had it but now it's not there. Looked in Edit > Preferences > Script Editor but nothing about quick search.

Hi.
Do you mean the "Find" field, that lies to the left of the "Next", "Previous", etc. buttons?

CAsba.
It was the "Preferences" that threw me. Mine is "Edit>Quick Find". I never even knew about that, always just using CMD-F. Have you restarted LC?

Re: Where did the Quick Search button in the Script Editor Go?
When the Search feature disappears from the bottom of my script editor window it invariably requires a new preferences file. I keep some already customized backups handy to save time since this happens with more regularity than seems reasonable... but with no recipe that I can see (yet.) The path to my preferences on MacOS is: /Users/scott/Library/Preferences/RunRev

To find the LC prefs file I use LC itself with the message box:
Et voila, quit LC and trash that file.
Code: Select all
put the filename of stack "revpreferences"

I believe that's a format specifier, noting the last time the Prefs data stored there underwent significant revision.

Re: Where did the Quick Search button in the Script Editor Go?
The recipe seems to be opening the advanced search with the More... button. Quick Find is hidden when the advanced search palette opens. If you close the palette with the close box, Quick Find does not reappear. But Cmd-F, or the Edit/Quick Find menu item, immediately brings it back.scott_morrow wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 10:04 amWhen the Search feature disappears from the bottom of my script editor window it invariably requires a new preferences file.
