prefer separate search and replace options settings

[briselec]

Using 16.01 on Linux

When porting code I do a lot of search and replace. When searching I most often use the Regular expression option but when doing replace I usually want match case on whole word. Having the options settings shared between both means I regularly fail to find something because the options are still set for doing a replace.

It would be better if the options settings for search and replace are separate.

From what search are you talking (provide the exact path because there exist a lot search function in codeblocks)?
From what option are you talking about?
Have you tried thread search plugin? it is only for searching, but you have to install contribute-plugin package from your favorite package manager

He is talking about ctrl-f and ctrl-r dialogs.

He is talking about ctrl-f and ctrl-r dialogs.

ok, now i understand and can replicate it.
This seems really annoying. Is there a reason why this is implemented like this (from a usability point of view or a logic point of view)?

This should not be to hard to code...

My guess is that this is by design done in this way.
It reuses the settings and controls.
If it is better or worse, I don't know.
I'm sure there will be users for both variants...
