I was unable to search and replace a Windows path containing double backslashes (\), because the application considered this as escaped backslash and was searching for one \ instead. Also searching for single \ was impossible therefore without escaping all of them.

Interpreting the given search term should be an optional setting on the search window, not an unchangeable default.

It is possible that there is a way to disable this behavior, but I wasn't able to find in the search window nor the Preferences. Even if there is an obscure way to set it in my normal work-flow i'd like to choose my preference for every search and replace i do on the fly like i change the scope and the search terms.

Hi @christiec01,

That really depends on the type of widget you intend to add.

Are you trying to create a section of the website with a bit of custom HTML/JavaScript code? If so, what type of content did you want the widget to contain?

Or did you want to add a widget from a 3rd party service like Google Docs? If so, do you already have the HTML code from the respective service?

Cheers, David
