Hi, The little box is supposed to be kept visible. If you keep it visible, you can refocus your document and keep the current search term. As far as I know, this requires a mouse click. It can be docked and undocked like any other dockable window or toolbar. Now Ctrl+H is the shortcut for the fully functional Search&Replace dialog. Hope this helps, A.S. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/repeated-search-tp3997551p3997592.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
