To the best of my understanding and experience, NWP 1.x is Cocoa non-compliant in that it does not allow any way to share the system-wide Cocoa find-string... with the small exception that it will accept it _if_ the NWP find-string is empty. I am looking for a user option to share the string with other Cocoa Apps like TextEdit and Safari. For one example of why, I frequently need to look up data from a website we manage, and then find certain elements in an RTF file. We use TextEdit because it fluidly shares the find-string, which curtails use of NWP, even though we could often make use of grep to advantage.

I have made a cursory look at the update notes for NWP 2 & 2.0.1 and don't find this addressed, but don't want to abandon upgrade plans without finding out for sure.

Is there a user option in NWP 2.0.1 to allow Cocoa find-string sharing?
or does anyone have a work-around?
or know of plans to add such an option in the foreseeable future?

Thanks

P.S. Another option I'd like to see, though less critical, is a user option to reverse the function of triple- and quad-clicking (sentence & paragraph selection) to be consistent with other Cocoa Apps.

NWP will always export the last used find expression/string to be available system-wide, but you're correct, NWP only imports the system-wide find expression if the NWP search panel is empty. I think we did this on purpose, as requested by users, because they found it to be annoying. You're right that it's non-standard behavior, so perhaps an option is in order.
