Can't see the find results when using the Find and Replace tool. When I initiate a search it looks to be working but no output window opens.
Any ideas?

If the results pane isn't appearing, then you may need to reset the window layout or open it manually. I don't have Flare running at the moment and I don't remember the command sequence to open the results pane, but the window layout is Window > Layouts > Reset Layouts, or something to that affect.

Also, are you clicking the Start button to initiate the search? It's not intuitive that you actually have to click the Start button. It took me awhile and a post on this forum before I tried that button. I think (again, don't have Flare open) that it seemed like you could click the double arrows below the replace field to start the search, but that's just the "find next" button, not the start search button.

The results pane can be found under the menu option: Edit > Find and Replace > and the results 1 and 2 are at the bottom of the list.

This fixed it. Many thanks!
