Default editor when double-clicking from Search results

[Phil Champ]

DITA topic files open in Text mode when double-clicked from the Search results list. How can I change this so that they open in Author mode?

Hi Phil,

Indeed right now the Find/Replace in Files performs a search over the actual XML content and it returns matches which can only be properly located in the Text editing mode. We'll try to make an improvement for this in a future version.

In the meantime in the Oxygen Window->Show view there is an Open/Find Resource view which can be used to search either in content or in file name and it opens XML documents in the Author visual editing mode, highlighting the matched words.

Regards,
Radu

That solves my problem. However, I wouldn't have found that option easily on my own. Thanks for the usual fast and helpful answer, Radu.
