Find and Replace in Formula bar missing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 91

Hi All,

 

In Power Apps Studio, can anyone tell me where the "find and replace" function that used to be in the formula bar (top right hand side) went to?  Ever since the new search feature was released a couple of weeks back, I have been unable to search code in my formula bar.  If I use the new Find function on the menu bar (keft hand side), it picks up the control with the text in it, but if the code is long, it does not take me to the typically multiple instances of the text with-in the formula bar. Hope this makes sense.

 

This is a real issue for me - I have some really long scripts and I cannot find anything anymore. PLEASE HELP???

 

Thanks

Regards

Lael

    Hi All,

    In case anyone else gets caught like I did - it had nothing to do with the new/upgraded Search feature. That was pure coincidence. It was a feature in Settings, Upcoming Features, Experimental called "Power Fx Formula Bar" - If you turn this on, you lose your find and replace.  I turned it off again, with the help and guidance of a very cool Microsoft Tech support guy called Shalom, and I now have my Find and Replace feature back again.

    Hi @LaelLeeH,

    Sorry for missing this post. We have fixed both of the issues you have pointed out here and both would soon roll out. To access the find and replace on the top right hand side, you can use Ctrl + f, Ctrl + H, and F3 keyboard shortcuts. You should soon be able to see search results from the find and replace on the left hand side revealed in the formula bar.
