I am trying to use the Find/Replace function to find all instances of the text “[default]” in my View settings. When I use Find/Replace with a View open, it can find cases of “[default]”. However when I use the “All Views” option it doesn’t find any. Am I missing something basic here?
This seems to be working for me,
but let’s check a few things. Did you close/re-open the Find/Replace Window between searches? Any time you change the search String or an area to search in, you need to re-search by pressing the “Find” button. To help me troubleshoot, could you provide a few items?
- Close the Find/Replace Window.
- Open ONE View which you know has “[default]” used within.
- Set all of your checkboxes to active (checked).
- Set the search text to “[default]”.
- Set the Views category to only search “Open” Views.
- Click “Find”.
- Take a screenshot of the results (please post this screenshot).
- Now set the View category to use “All” Views and click “Find” again.
- Take a screenshot of the new results (please post this screenshot).
- If you are STILL encountering the issue, please set all of the checkboxes to inactive (unchecked) except for the View category, which should remain active (checked).
- Click "Find.
- Take a screenshot of these results (and please post).
- Now set Views to only search “Open” Views.
- Click “Find”.
- Take a screenshot of these results (and please post the screenshot).
(Before starting this I purposefully scattered some more "[default]"s around my project to make sure they were there).
(I am using Ignition 8.0.1).

Open one view which definitely has “[default]”, open new Find/Replace window and set all checkboxes to active, only search “Open” Views, click Find. Worked as expected:
-
Set the View category to “All” views and click “Find” again. Did not find anything:
-
Set all checkboxes to inactive except for View category, click “Find” again. Did not find anything:
-
Set Views to only search “Open” Views, click “Find” again. Worked as expected:
