CCS/TMS320F280049: Cannot do a case insensitive search using the right-mouse-button-click pop-up menu from the CCS editor

Part Number: TMS320F280049

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

When using the CCS editor if I highlight a word and then use "Search Text" from the right-click pop-up menu, the search is always performed case sensitive.  I want to ignore the text case when doing this search.  If I go to the CCS menu bar and open the "File Search" dialog I can get the search to be performed case insensitive, but this is a much more cumbersome way to do quick text searches.

For reference I am using CCS version 8, I have already tried launching CCS using the -clean option, and have already tried cleaning out my ".metadata" workspace folder.  I tried searching the TI websites for case sensitivity related entries but could not find anything relevant.

    Hi,

    I see the same behaviour here. However, for quick searches and being a keyboard person, I have never used the right-click --> Search option. Instead, I use Ctrl+F which gives a nice search box that allows many configurations:

    Would that be a good workaround for this scenario?

    Regards,

    Rafael

    Hello Rafael,

    Thanks for the quick response.  When I am doing searches within a single file I do the same as you; Ctrl-F and use the pop-up dialog.  Unfortunately that dialog does not allow for searching all of the files within a project, which is where the right-click and "Search Text" method comes into play.

    Kind regards,

    Patrick.

    Patrick,

    Thanks for the additional information; I see it now.

    In the meantime, I found out that this search component is in fact from the opensource Eclipse (which reduces or slows down our ability to change it) and unfortunately I couldn't find any settings that could change its default behaviour. I looked at the Windows --> Preferences --> General --> Search.

    At any rate, I filed the enhancement request number CCSIDE-3368. In a few hours please check its status in the link SDOWP in my signature below.

    Regards,
    Rafael
