Search++ version 0.6.3.1

Search++ is a work in progress. Testing is still in progress and serious bugs may be present. Use with caution. That said, your feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. There is a discussion topic in the Notepad++ community, or you can create a GitHub issue. There is a help file.

• Fix a pair of errors that caused incorrect results when characters outside the basic multilingual plane were used in a regex replacement string and when a capture group included invalid UTF-8.
• Fix problematic behavior for Show file in explorer on context menu for the file list in the Search in Files dialog when the file list is large. The action could become sluggish or fail to complete and interfere with other activity.
• Handle absolute file paths larger than MAX_PATH.
• Avoid "configuration file for this plugin was edited" when running multiple instances of Notepad++: only save when the last instance is closing.

A warning from the 0.6 update that still holds: Be cautious using the Search in Files dialog to search large files (hundreds of megabytes or more) with the 32-bit version. It is entirely possible to run out of memory and crash Notepad++ without warning or any chance to recover anything.

To install Search++ download Search++-0.6.3.1-x86.zip or Search++-0.6.3.1-x64.zip, depending on whether you're using 32-bit or 64-bit Notepad++. Unzip the file to a folder named Search++ (the name must be exactly that, or Notepad++ will not load the plugin) and copy that folder into the plugins directory where Notepad++ is installed (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins for 32-bit versions or C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins for 64-bit versions).
