Threadsearch get the wrong position if a file is not saved

My question is: Can ThreadSearch use the unsaved buffer?

Thanks.

Hi Ollydbg.

ThreadSeach plugin is designed like C::B Search in files implementation (and most other IDE/Editors in fact), i.e. it searches in file content and does not care about open editors.
I designed it this way because it is faster, simpler and I don't want to keep synchronized editors and search results. As soon as you type a char in an editor, ThreadSearch results might be wrong, so, searching in files or editors don't make a big difference.

And I have to admit I already had problems that make me do a Ctrl+S every three typed chars

Thanks for the explanation.

Thread search could show the AnnoyingDialog, to warn you and make you choose to save all files

IIRC, Build saves all silently...
I'll try to have a look.
