currently the search bar only dispaly one line, makes it hard to edit a long search content.
sometimes the search can be tens of sentences long.
Instead of copy-paste from notepad, a config option to make the search edit textfield wrap lines is more convenient.
Wrap long text in search edit
Re: Wrap long text in search edit
A multi-line search edit is on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.
If you are working with multiple filenames, please try file list slots.

Re: Wrap long text in search edit
It may be in creating such a feature there could be an option to designate an external editor, such as the path to NotePad2, by creating a file, removing its A flag, then collect back to the search bar on Everything refocus if the A-flag has been set (removing the A flag) - this would allow multiple use for a given search string.

Re: Wrap long text in search edit
Long lines of text can be edited comfortably in EmEditor Professional using the "Grab Text" function -> video!
- Start EmEditor [display in Systray]
- C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\EmEditor_emedtray.exe.lnk
- C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\EmEditor\emedtray.exe - Everything: Set focus in search box with very long text line
- Press Ctrl+Alt+X or AltGr+X -> EmEditor is called up and the text to be edited is displayed on a new tab called "(Grabbed Text)".
Menu "Tools" > "Customize..." > Shortcut: Customize Tray Icon... > Shortcut Key to Grab Text with EmEditor: ... - Option: Click on the button in EmEditor or use a shortcut, e.g. "Wrap by Characters [130|>80] (Ctrl+2)" - (self-defined).
- Perform the text editing in EmEditor(!)
- Close the tab "(Grabbed Text)" in EmEditor with File - Close (Ctrl+W)
- Switch to Task Everything with ALT+TAB
- The search box of Everything now shows the edited/updated text
