Improvement suggestion

I refer to the "Find // Replace" function within the "Find & Select" option.

 

It would be much more useful if:

 

a/ The "Find NEXT" would could be toggled to search backward

&

b/ That one was able to set personalize the DEFAULTS within the Options window

 

Thank you

    Hi John,

     

    The option is already there, it is just cunningly hidden from view. Hold down the shift key while you click FInd next.

    Suggestion to UI team: add a hint that holding shift is an option and change button captions accordingly if you do.
