The advanced search is an awesome, powerful tool I really like to use, but I have some questions / suggestions for improvement.
First, the "Where would you like to search"-option is set back to "in the active document" every time you lauch the software. I almost always use "In all documents in the window" and have to set this option again almost every time I use the advanced search. Is there a way this setting is saved?
More important: There seems to be no way to navigate through the search results via keyboard. There should be a shortcut/key to go the first/next or previous result. With the "find"-function, F3 works - but obviously not in the advanced search. When you have just entered the search term and want to see the first result via keyboard, you would have to press [TAB] 5 times and then the [ARROW DOWN] key - not really an applicable solution.

Re: Advanced Search: Keyboard navigation
Hello, twessels
At the moment there is no way to retain the "where" field and that must be set manually with each new close and re-open. I will mention this to the dev team and see if they might consider changing that in the future, though I cannot make any promises.
As for the keyboard navigation, At the moment, tabbing through and using the arrow keys is the only method though I should mention that a single press of Shift_Tab (which goes backwards) will bring you to that same field, instead of 5 button (or more) presses required normally.
Kind regards,
