GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 565117
remove match word start, match complete lines options
Last modified: 2011-02-19 13:26:54 UTC
As a step toward simplifying the complicated Find & Replace dialog, I propose that we remove the "Match at start of word" and "Match complete lines" options. These options will be rarely if ever used, and a user who really wants these matching capabilities can easily construct an equivalent regular expression.
Created attachment 125027 [details] [review] fix Here's a patch that removes these options.
I actually would like to see some concept for the whole search dialog. IMHO the preference tab is completely useless and could be removed completely and maybe we can get rid of the tabs completely and use a GtkPaned for advanced options.
The old search dialog is gone...
