Feedback Feature request: do not search in comments

[Yury]

Subj. Need "search only in code" option

When i need to find something in code, search results populated with comments too, and i have to browse unwanted pieces of code to do refactoring.

Pls save my time from this. Thanks.

Yeah, this one is missing from GMS 1.x. I was hoping they gonna bring it back soon, but was wrong.

Seconded. Refactoring is bad enough as it is without false positives.

Also, don't forget to fix the bug where search-replace finding several matches on the same line corrupts the text if the length of the line changes when the first appearance is replaced.

This one seems to be fixed in mantis. It cached position of words before replace (probably to being faster) and then used it during replace, not taking into account length change I wonder how it would break if replace is multiline (if it's even possible...).

I've never actually needed to search-replace multiline text, but it's an interesting thing to think about. (I'm kinda into DRY so if I realize I repeat the same exact lines twice somewhere nowadays, I instantly refactor it into a script)
