When in Advanced Editor in the Power Query Editor, if you pressed Ctrl-F a search box would open to help you find text within it.

RE: Enable Search box within the Advanced Editor.

Not sure why we should even need to ask for this.

RE: Enable Search box within the Advanced Editor.

how is this now one of the first things added to PQ?? if a query is 40 lines long and a column name has changed... it's ridiculous not to be able to ctrl+F and jump straight to the part of the query that needs to be edited or deleted... we have to scan the code or copy paste into a txt.... this is basic stuff.

Obvious improvement, please we need this now. Copy - paste the whole query to word, just to find a line of code is not a very professional way to work.

This is a no-brainer, guys. Come on. Seriously.

RE: Enable Search box within the Advanced Editor.

Same here. Many of my colleagues also complain about this and are forced to do the copy-paste, find and edit, and then copy-paste back to the advanced editor.

RE: Enable Search box within the Advanced Editor.

Yes please. I regularly have to copy my M code out into Visual Studio Code, then use ctrl-F there, make the changes and then copy it back into the Advanced Editor.
