I would like to suggest that search be on a specific page only.
Current text flow will not do because I could have many text block on the page.

Behzad, could you elaborate on your thoughts/needs behind this request? I'm just curious.
So I am searching for the word professional, it starts to show the word from all the pages in my site. So lets say I have 50 pages, it shows them one at a time. However I want to search for the word on a specific page. This is what I want an option to be.
Highlight the text on the page you want to search then check [X] Current Text Flow
Gary on one page I have 100s of text blocks, this is not feasible.
Ctrl+A then Search surely?Quote:

Acorn, control plus A does not help at all. Try it.
Your other suggestion also does not work because I want to change the reoccurring word on that page.
On the first, thank you for checking.Quote:

Back to the first. If I can second-guess, you want to to perform Replace All on a word or phrase on the current page only.
You have two approaches:
- Set the Scope to All pages and repeatedly press the Replace button and stop when the page changes.
- Set the Scope to All pages and use Solo mode on the layer & page the search text is in and press the Replace All button.

Acorn I do appreciate you wanting to help but for this special case, why are we always trying to find ways out of something that needs to be programmed by Xara. I am strongly suggesting this addition to search and replace option.
Throughout the years we all try to reinvent the broken wheel that Xara needs to fix. It is frustrating to sit around and wait for the Xara fairy to do something.
behzad, because Xara designers and developers are not XDA users to the intensity we achieve in TalkGraphics.
If they were, they would engage with us.
Secondly, I don't believe its delivery cycle is effective as I have never seen any signs of true Behaviour-driven Development across its lifecycle.
Too often, features are introduced that break (website mainly) or usurp genuinely balanced workflows.
The following Features are broken or implemented crassly: SmartShapes, the new UI, Image Filenaming, Squish/Squashy aspects, Group images, Selection handles in Moulds, Bitmap tracing, jQuery Library update, Justified text, rotated text.
I don't think Scope: All pages and Solo modes is a failure; it is just something that currently requires a deeper understanding by us and definitely a better descriptive process from Xara: Capability --> Features --> User stories --> Examples.

I think your right. If they interact more with us like Rob did then they can do something logical to what users need.
