Very annoying. Another annoyance is that if I want to search across a few tabs, I have to enter my search string again. Using my browser's find, I could enter it once, then just *switch tab* *ctrl-g*, which is much more efficient.<br /><br />I think this is great for those who use regex's, but for the rest of us it's just annoying. I think there should be an option that we can set so the new find bar can only be brought up through the menus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-87483105059816540162009-04-16T12:32:00.000-07:002009-04-16T12:32:00.000-07:00I'm used to hitting the return key multiple times ...I'm used to hitting the return key multiple times for successive searches, but this will delete the string that's found in Google Docs... argh.Philipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-34714168511068036112009-04-01T06:56:00.000-07:002009-04-01T06:56:00.000-07:00Please don't regexp match email addresses, it ...Please don't regexp match email addresses, it just can't be done in a sane way!<BR/><BR/>It's strange that there isn't a command for testing email addresses in PHP/ASP.net. You need to send the email to be sure if it works or not, if there is a command to do a partial send then that could be used. E.g. Just connect to the mail server and say that you have "Rcpt to:<emai>" and check if it is accepted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-3741635189073950832009-03-31T09:57:00.000-07:002009-03-31T09:57:00.000-07:00@Guy DERIDET: You could try viewing the HTML sourc...@Guy DERIDET: You could try viewing the HTML source and removing the <BR> tags.ustunozgurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171124992468174311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-58547303403138529342009-03-26T23:02:00.000-07:002009-03-26T23:02:00.000-07:00Does somebody know how to find in Google docs all ...Does somebody know how to find in Google docs all carriage return and replace them with nothing.
