search in folder

sometimes project files are not concentrated in a single file but splitterd in multiple files in a directory: it could be useful to extend the searched text to one kind of a file in a specific path

This kind of search is already implemented in other editor (AFAIK Notepad++ and Atom) just add in the search box the option to search xyz text not just in the opened file but in all the files available in a defined path with a specific extension

I think this should now be possible in v5 @1024jp

Yes. It would be time to consider it again. Not in 5.0.0, but someday later.

This is the most critical missing feature in Coteditor; still the app is excellent.

I would like to see this implemented, too. I'm using grep for the time being. Thank you.
