In UltraEdit there is
Search - Incremental Search. As you can read on the linked page, it positions the caret to first string found according to what you have already typed with selecting it.
This command does not highlight all occurrences of the string already entered as displayed in the status bar. If you want to highlight all occurrences of the word selected after the incremental search, hold SHIFT and double click on the selected word. This feature requires setting
Shift+Double Click highlights all words which match word under caret being enabled at
Advanced - Configuration - Search - Advanced. It is also possible to execute command
View - Highlight All Selected by key instead of using Shift+Double Click once you have assigned a hotkey to this command in key mapping configuration dialog.
Hm, I think it would be good for you (not for me) if the setting
Use persistent highlight all at
Advanced - Configuration - Search - Advanced would be also taken into account for
Incremental Search. I suggest to send a feature request email to IDM support with the suggestion to highlight all occurrences of currently entered string during and after an incremental search if
Use persistent highlight all is enabled in configuration.
Update:
The
Incremental Search command was enhanced to a
Quick Find command with features like in browsers and as explained at
Quick Find versus Find and how to customize the usage of both in UltraEdit v21.00 and UEStudio v14.10.
