Searching documents 177
• Skip tags while searching searches only the page content, not the tags
themselves—especially useful when searching for words like width or value.
This option is not available when Regular expressions is selected.
• Exclude Binary Files skips binary files such as EXE, PDF, ZIP, and media file
types. Searching these types of files would significantly slow down the search.
HomeSite+ for Dreamweaver MX installs a list of excluded file extensions in
the Windows Registry LinkVerifyExcludeExts key.
• Display Line Info displays the contents of the line in which the match was
found. This slows down the performance in large searches.
5 Click Find.
6 To cancel the search operation, press the Esc key.
The Results window displays a list of documents matching the search string.
Performing an extended replace
This section contains instructions for performing an extended search and replace
operation in the current document, all open documents, in a folder, or in a project.
Caution
An extended replace operation cannot be undone. For best results, select the Make
backups option. Also, an extended replace operation skips all read-only files.
To perform an extended replace:
1 Select Search > Extended Replace to display the Extended Replace dialog box.
2 Enter the appropriate text in the Find what and Replace with boxes.
To re-use a previously saved search string in the Find what box, see “Saving
search text” on page 174.
3 In the Find where box, select one of the following options:
• Current document Replaces text in the current document only, using more
advanced options than are available in a basic search and replace operation.
• All open documents Replaces text in all open documents, even those that
are not yet saved.
• In folder Replaces text in the documents of a specific folder. You can select a
folder from the drop-down box, enter a full path, or browse to the folder.
To replace text in documents that are in the folder’s subdirectories, select
Include subfolders.
If you want to limit your search and replace operation to files of certain types,
select a filter from the File Types drop-down box or enter your own; for
example, *.html;*.htm;*.txt.
