Eclipse does not return to the beginning of the file in Find/Replace

Question

When I use Find/Replace in Eclipse (Helios Service Release 2), it does not find the words above my current location even it reaches to the end of file and I have to set Direction to Backward.

I remember the eclipse (maybe indigo) was returning to the beginning of file when it reached to the end.

Is there any setting for this?

Answer 1

According to the greg-449's answer: There is the 'Wrap search' option on the Find/Replace dialog itself.

Answer 2

See attached screen shot below. You also hear a DING when the search wraps over to the beginning of the file.

Answer 3

As you have already found the answer. Just adding the official page which describes this feature in eclipse.There is a wrap search option for this.

From the docs:-

Select the Wrap Search checkbox if you want the dialog to continue from the top of the file once the bottom is reached (if you find / replace in Selected Lines only, then this option applies to those lines only)
