There as been a user request to clear out any prior-search results from the Find result window when a new search that writes output to that window is initiated.

See https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19850/setting-to-clear-previous-search-results-before-files-search

This seems to be a reasonable idea, as a subsequent right-click menu Open All can easily (and unintentionally) open many more documents than the user truly needs/wants (this was pointed out by a different user in the above Community thread).

Debug Information

Feature request based on behavior current to N++ version 7.8.9.
