I love the new Automatic Outlining feature. However when a block of code is collapsed, Edit > Find does not find text that matches the search criteria when within a collapsed section. I've only tried the two methods I typically use, which are for the "Current Document or Panel" and for the "Project Suite". Perhaps in Find Options there could be the option to exclude collapsed code sections, but by default I believe it should include them. My workaround is to use Ctrl-Alt-A to ensure everything in my current document is expanded, but if I've collapsed in other panels, I could definitely miss some things.

Hi hhowe,
This option already exists - it's called Search hidden text.
Thank you for the feedback and information. I guess I expected it to reference something about the collapsed sections or outlining, since that's the language used elsewhere regarding this feature. The help page for Outlining is also missing any note of this option (however it is there under the Find dialog help). Regardless, I'm quite happy with the feature and the option, and I also see that it retains this option even through a restart of TestComplete. Thanks for the great addition!
Interesting note...searching the entire project with the "Search hidden text" checked is much faster than with it unchecked. I verified the results were consistent between the two searches, but for some reason, with it checked it noticeably faster.
