I am curious why when I search for a line of code, search will never find it if it is located in a module? Method name, property name, it does not matter. If it is in a module, search will not find it. I have had this happen for years, just hoping it would be fixed one day. Is this a feature or a bug? Am I missing something super obvious?
when you say “Module” are you meaning “EXTERNAL Module”
even then I have never had “search” not find what I wanted, except when I mis-typed my criteria
No, I mean that I insert a module into my project. I add a method called myMethod. Then I search for myMethod (search scope being the entire project) and search results with nothing.
Well not sure what you are doing wrong, but if this was a “bug” in Xojo, I am sure others (myself included) would have been complaining about this already…
You ARE entering the search criteria in the window towards the BOTTOM of the screen, and NOT in the searchbar in the top of the project browser… If you are assuming that Xojo’s search feature works similar to Xcode’s , then you would be wrong, and that would be the source of your issue.
I just tried this and Xojo had no problem finding a method in one of my modules. Like Dave, I’m not sure what your issue may be, but it’s not a bug with Xojo.
