In the regular find window, there's that arrow button you can click to get a multi line text field where to enter your search query, but I don't see it when I do a search in whole project, which is kind of a pain when looking for lengthy pieces of code...
Do you know command-E? It places the selection on the find clipboard. 99% of the time, I want to find something which is already in my source, and never actually type it in the find dialog text fields
Thanks for the tip. But the situation I'm often confronted to in my job is editing whole sites coded by others that have the same exact HTML on millions of pages and I really need to use the project wide search and replace feature in order to be anywhere close to productive... If there's is any chance to implement the same collapse window thinggy from the regular search in the future, it would be great. Thanks again for your help.
Hi,
I'm new on this list and a new TextMate User. Because development seems to have stopped on my favourite text editor (or what was my favourite text editor until now :-)), I tried every MacOS text editor that I could find... and decided that TextMate has the potential to become my new favourite.

Use the regular find window with the multi line text field to enter your search/replace phrase and use it on a single file. Then, open the "Find in project" window. You'll see that your search/replace phrase is already entered in the single line text field.
If there's is any chance to implement the same collapse window thinggy from the regular search in the future, it would be great.
I agree, that'd be even better than the "workaround" mentioned above.
Kind regards, Tobias Jung
