My question is: Can ThreadSearch use the unsaved buffer?

Thanks.

Hi Ollydbg.

ThreadSeach plugin is designed like C::B Search in files implementation (and most other IDE/Editors in fact), i.e. it searches in file content and does not care about open editors.
I designed it this way because it is faster, simpler and I don't want to keep synchronized editors and search results. As soon as you type a char in an editor, ThreadSearch results might be wrong, so, searching in files or editors don't make a big difference.

And I have to admit I already had problems that make me do a Ctrl+S every three typed chars ;)

Thread search could show the AnnoyingDialog, to warn you and make you choose to save all files :)

IIRC, Build saves all silently...
I'll try to have a look.
