Search not working

[cobadger]

Search isn't working in my Mac version of SublimeText 2.

If I enter a search term which appears in a document (e.g. "foo") I get a message at the bottom left of the application window that says "[x=number] matches; Unable to find foo".

I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. What else might I try?

More bizarre behavior: some text searches work, but when they do the "Find Prev" button finds the *next* occurrence of the search term, and the "Find" button finds the previous occurrence.

I'm having the same problem. Version 2.0.1, Build 2217.

It sounds like you have the 'Reverse' button checked on the Find panel.

About the first issue: You are probably searching only in the current selection.

Problem solved: I had the “Whole word (Alt+W)” option selected, after toggling it to off my searches started working.

Thanks jps for pointing me in the right direction.
