While working in a project, I minimized the Search/Replace window. I closed that project, and opened another one. I could not figure out how to get back the Search/Replace window without exiting the application and opening it again. If I tried to get to Search/Replace via the menu, the window did not appear. I could not find a way to bring back the window…what am I missing? I assume I am missing something pretty obvious, but it eludes me.

On my windows 10 machine, it gets minimised down to the left just above the task bar. Not sure why, it’s not ideal, but we’ll add code to ensure the form is restored when you hit the search function again.

This build has the fix for the minimise issue, if the search window is minimised when you invoke the search function it will restore.
