Search is not finding all occurrences of the search term

Question

Recently the search (ctrl-F) and replace (ctrl-H) are no longer finding all occurrences of the search term. This does not have to do with the settings of the scope (chapter, book, all), but is true even within the selected scope. (PT 9.2.102.13)

Answer 1

It is hard to diagnose the issue without some examples. Can you show what you are searching for and what is not found? Can you confirm that the characters are exactly the same in each case? There are some projects that have characters that look similar, but are in fact different.

Oh the joys of computing:-) Today, without any updates, it works. At least it does find 28 verses in contrast to two yesterday, finding two verses from a book that had no work done for years, but not the ones I was looking at in another book. I don’t think I even restarted ParaText. It had happened in two different scripts, one of them being English. Strange. I think I have had this problem once before.
Thanks for replying, anon848905!

Answer 2

@anon848905 This is not related to the problem mentioned above, but search and replace behave differently. I can find “\q2 \q2” with search, but when I use the same string in replace (with a single \q2) it does not find any occurrences. I think I understand why (line breaking), but I don’t think there should be a different behaviour in those two boxes. No need to give advice as to how to do the replace I’d like to do, I do have workarounds.
