Search: Place Cursor at End not working (v22.0.2.1)

[JimmieC]

I turned on Options->Search->Place Cursor at End. However, when I search, the cursor is still at the beginning of the selection.

Perhaps there is some other configuration flag that needs to be turned on\off as well for this to work?

It depends.  In Mini-Find, that setting isn't actually there, so it does not apply.  It is available in Tool Find and for most command-line searches.  There are cases where it is forced to end of match (quick-search, i-search), there are historical and functional reasons why they are that way.  In the case of Mini-Find, I recall there being functional reasons why it caused issues that it wasn't available, I'll have to revisit it at some point.

Hi Lee,
Here is some more information about that.

I am not using the mini-find tool. I keep the Find and Replace window docked on the left side.

I was performing Find (not Find in Files) for "^\o:b+\o:a+_\o:a+\(" without quotes. I tried turning "Leave Selected" off but the behavior is the same.

There is an explicit setting in the Tool Find for Place cursor at end, is it enabled there?  What other settings are enabled, List all occurrences?  For listed searches, the option is not available there either.  I'll have to double-check to see if some other setting may affect or override Place at end.
