Comment 3 for bug 190213

The FIND or FIND&REPLACE features now (gedit 3.4.1) perform TWO functions (only) (marked ** below)
For full generality, GEDIT should provide FIVE functions, shown below.

The issues are these:
  [A] Are search-string remembered on a per-file basis of for all files
  [B] Does search/replace operate on a per-file basis or over all files

Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find-search-string should be REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace-strings should be REMEMBERED for ONE file or for ALL files.
Maybe there could be a switch to say whether find/replace ALL should OPERATE over ONE file or over ALL files.

The present offering (see two items marked **) is a bit schizophrenic:

** [1] find in present file
     remember search string in-and-for the present file only.

    [2] search&replace in present file
    remember search/repleace strings in-and-for the present file only.

    [3] find in present file
    remember search string in-and-for ALL files (so searching can proceed file by file on same search string)

** [4] search&replace in present file
     remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files only.

    [5] search&replace in ALL files
     remember search/repleace strings in-and-for ALL files.
