I'm not satisfied with default calc search:

it cannot set search all sheets in document on default and also hidden in advanced.
it cannot show multiple entries as well as the exact location of the cells found.

Edit: OK, this not belong here, thank you pointing this out cloph. I will submit a bug.

Feature requests often emerge from questions.uch features can't be implemented instantly. This one seems like a great addition, probably best discussed on the UX visual designers list: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/ux-visual-designers/ or on a forum which you can refer to in a bug report.

Hi,

the default calc search refuse to be advanced which is annoying, it do not set search "all" sheets by default

I run LibreOffice Calc - version 3.5 (on Windows 7 - home edition 64 bit).

To get this feature you should:

Press Ctr+H (shortcut) in order to get the "Find and replace" window;
Click below on "more options";
Click on "search on all sheets".

From this moment on, you are able to search your data on ALL sheets

I have tried to close Calc 3.5 and to reopen it. The option to search on all sheets is still activated (no need to click on it one more time) :-)

To recap, this feature is available in Calc 3.5 as well (not only in Gnumeric).

hi, dude, I meant to say there is no way to set it default, you shall understand how important is default and lack the feature of listing all found items in a visible way. Why not want it to be better. I don't understand.

@jiero no one is refusing improvements, see my comment above.

I would also like to vote that search in all sheets be the default, or as a second choice, the option be in the initial dialog and not the advanced one. I never search just in one sheet and am constantly having to set it up.

Please refine "Search" in Calc - implement functions in Gnumeric
