I can see the plugin in the context-menu but when clicking on it, it does not do anything. Have you any intention of updating the plugin or is this totally a dead project? If that is the case do you know of something similar? I loved the functionality your plugin adds, but I have not seen any alternative and I do not have any coding skills...

Sorry, this project is not active any more. I don't even use Gedit any more, so there's not much motivation to keep the plugin updated for newer Gedit versions.

I think there is a "findinfiles" plugin in the gedit-plugins package, so maybe that's an alternative.

Ok. Thanks. Can I know what are you using right now? Vim, Emacs?

Mostly Kate and VSCode. They both have good find-in-files implementations; and if necessary I fall back to git grep.

Just to add: it is not only gedit but also xed users who lack good search with "search in open files" and "in selection".
