As we all know that Ctrl+F is the way to find some required text within a file, but how do we go about to find a desired text in all open documents in Notepad++?

Press Ctrl + F, and then click "Find All in All Opened Documents":
Alternatively, you can press Alt + O (as the 'O' is underlined).

5This answer is so straight forward, I start to wonder if some people even read what is on their screen. (not meant against you Attie, this is a valid answer)LPChip– LPChip2018-02-23 14:17:54 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2018 at 14:17

5It's not obvious enough since we're still up-voting this answer. My initial thought was to look in "Find in Files" for this option since I think of each tab as a "file".Ben– Ben2019-12-11 17:00:08 +00:00Commented Dec 11, 2019 at 17:00

2Just pointing out that, in newer versions (v8.4.6 at least), the placement of "Find All in All Opened Documents" and "Find All in Current Document" are swapped. I was so focused on the expected output that didn't check this for quite some time.pras92– pras922023-02-09 13:49:10 +00:00Commented Feb 9, 2023 at 13:49
