Search in files fails

I select some text in the current file, then search in files. I check to be sure the text I've selected appears in the "text to find" edit box. I'm careful to set the file type as *.xsl. I look in project files, I look in directory of current file, I look in named directory. In all cases I get no results.
I stop, then restart oxygen and try again. This time the files that contain the selected text are correctly listed.
This is kind of hard to reproduce. I think I've seen this before but not sure.
Again, I really like the product. Search in files is *critical* as there are 52 files participating in xsl:includes.

Hi Roger,
This looks from your description indeed hard to reproduce. Is that with a released version of oXygen or with the nightly build we made available to offer support for Saxon 8.3 and a little later for Saxon 8.4. If I remember correctly the nightly build for Saxon 8.3 was exactly in the middle of developing on the search suport so there may be problems with that.
Best Regards,
George

Thanks, George.
Yes, I'm still using the nightly for Saxon 8.3. Do you think this problem goes away with the 5.1 distribution build?
BTW, I did get xpath in stylesheets to run. That's great. Unfortunately my stylesheets are way too long and way too many.

Hi Roger,
It will be better in fact to report problems on the nightly builds on the support at oxygenxml dot com email address instead of this forum. If you prefer to post them here please state clearly in the post that the problem is in a nightly build.
We have no similar reports of search problems against the released 5.1 version of oXygen. As I told you the nightly drop with support for Saxon 8.3 was made when changes to the search functionality were in progress so anything is possible. If you do not need Saxon 8.3 support use the 5.1 stable release.
In case you want to perform XPath queries on large files use XPath 2.0 which is implemented using Saxon 8 API and is faster than the XPath 1.0 which is implemented using Xalan API.
Best Regards,
George
