Searching in Code doesn't work

Whenever I use the Search function (Ctrl+F) to search for some text in my code the "Search/Replace Results" panel does not return the correct information and I cannot find a relationship between what it returned and what I asked for.  For instance, I have a function called "AppValues".  When I do a search so that I can find out where and how many times it is called it returns lines that do not include the search criteria "AppValues" and even marks those incorrect lines as locations in which to find the value.
  • Unfortunately I don't think this has been fixed and is something I ran into a long while back in TC8. Disable outlining of your functions by right clicking in the code editor then selecting Outlining>Stop Outlining.

    Seems to work OK for me. Check your Look in: and Find Options settings to verify you are searching with Current Document or Panel.
  • Please see the attached file.  It is a video of the issue of which I am talking about.  In it, I enter search criteria and the results are displayed.  I click on the results (which do not match the search criteria) and it takes me to a line that also does not include the search criteria.

  • Thanks Ryan, dismantaling Outlining appears to solve the issue.  Appreciate the help.
