[Geany-Users] search history

[Ben]

I notice in Geany 1.27 (Mint 18.1 repo) it doesn't save search terms.
Which is fine, especially between sessions.

In Geany, I take it there's also no "clear recent documents?"  (you can 
set the # of listed recent docs in the config file).

I don't know if it's designed never to save search or "find & replace" 
history, or if I edited some file and don't remember it.
There definitely aren't any menu or prefs for "don't save search 
history" - or such.

There are no settings in any Geany files to control any of this, that I 
see.  It's OK - I'm just surprised.  Most apps save some history and you 
have to find a way to delete it, if need to.
If I edited something in Geany's files to not save search history and 
forgot what I did, I'd like to see if there's a way to apply it to 
Mint's text editor.

In Linux Mint, the default text editor is XED.  I could easily change it 
to another editor - even Geany, that doesn't save search history or can 
clear it.
XED has no preferences to not save history; no way to clear it.

XED's Search & "replace with" terms are stored in a binary file - 
"user."  The only way to delete those entries is using the tool, 
dconf-editor, which isn't that convenient on a regular basis.
