Hi, I have a simple idea / request: if you search in text (CTRL+F in the different text editors, in the python caller window, ...) you can now choose between "Previous", "Next" and "Close". Universal, functional and simple!

However, sometimes I would also like to know how often the searched string appears in the text: would it be possible to add an extra "Count" button to indicate the number of occurences of the searched string?


My workarounds now are:

Use replace instead of Find, which then gives the number of occurences:

Afterwards I have to think about undoing or canceling of course...


Or copy the entire text in Notepad++ and use the functionality that I would like to also have in FME:


Would be nice and handy sometimes!
