Really?
Can you give more information? Because I certainly don’t see where or how there could be a problem of the kind you seem to see. The macro doesn’t do anything other than cycle through all the windows and do a “Find All” with the settings of the current find dialog. The regex machinery of NWP is something that hasn’t been touched by the updates.

Obviously if you find problems with Nisus’ search results, this is something serious that should be reported right away (via Send Feedback), but you would have to let them (us?) know what kind of search doesn’t work, and how it can be reproduced.

When I find “wrong” results with my searches, I always find that I was mistaken, not NWP. :-))

Since upgrading to El Capitan and NWP 2.12 the "Find in All Open Documents" macro is apparently broken. It always seems to run, but most of the time it will report hits in files that do not include the text string in question. Sometimes running it again works; sometimes not. Is there something else I should have updated to make the macro work as it used to?
