Question

In Delphi 2010 a new Find bar has been added beneath the source editor. Though I sounds like a good idea I find it prettry anoying when F3 should be pressed multiple times for finding next matches. It works from time to time for me.

How I can switch it off and use the old search fnctionality?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It is not possible to switch back to the old modal behavior. That code is gone. If you’d like to see all the results in a list, you can use “Find in Files” and choose either “open files” or “files in project” to keep the number of files being searched to a minimum

OTHER TIPS

Depending on how reliant you are on the latest versions of the VCL components, you may be able to run a slightly older version of the IDE as your editor, and use command-line compilation to compile your code using Delphi 2010. I have in the past mixed and matched IDEs in this way, but admittedly this is more difficult if your software is component-heavy, so to speak.
