Created attachment 58583 [details] This document illustrates the problem I have been waiting forever for OOo to implement a "Find all" feature that searches all pages by default and gives a list of clickable results. I am now hoping that LibreOffice calc will implement this soon. I have 3 files that I open at work daily using another application because Calc lacks this feature.

(In reply to comment #1) > http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/search-in-calc The attached document illustrates why this solution is only a partial one. It can only search one sheet at a time. It has no options It must be relaunched for each new search The attached document also illustrates how a perfect solution might work (Gnumeric) and how an adequate solution might work.(MS Excel)
Version 3.5 is out and this issue has not been addressed. Sadly, I didn't miss any of the improvements that we made. I am confident that if the developers wanted to, they could fix this problem. I just can not understand why they don't want to.
Please can you explain why an improvement must be highest an critical? I can't see it. IMHO only regression or crashing bugs can have this status.

If that is the case, I can't. Can you tell me how I can get the developers to give some attention to this bug for which finding a fix is of the highest importance and which needs the most urgent attention? I have been trying for years. It is the only feature of any importance where both OOo and LibreOffice lag behind both MS Excel and Gnumeric.
I am agree with you, it is an interesting feature. But I think shout it is not the best to get right attention. Get support from other user, would be good. I don't see this improvement in the list of new features in 3.6: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6 May be is easy to get the attention from developer of the extension.

Guess what, of the features listed in the link, I already fixed what I needed by customising menus and using macros. I was not aware of a problem with the others. Ctrl-D - Fixed by customizing menu New option to specify a custom sheet - Unaware of any issues Improved performance of pivot table. - Unaware of any issues Marked cells in Calc can now be merged via the right mouse click - Unaware of any issues Improved error message for invalid sheet name. - Unaware of any issues Export conditional formatting to xlsx (Markus Mohrhard) - Unaware of any issues Improved CSV file import. - Unaware of any issues Added a "Save cell formulas instead of calculated values" - Unaware of any issues Cut and Insert (another request of mine which was ignored) Fixed with macro and menu costomising
Do I really need to wait until I retire in another 15 years or so, plus another 2 or so years that it may take me to learn programming (If I live that long) for this to be fixed?
Filling several identical bug reports, will not boost your request for enhancement. Set as duplicate of bug 39881. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 39881 ***
Lots of advice about what won't work. Thanks for that. Any advice about what will?
