SearcHistory provides a feature missing from the Visual Basic programming 
environment.....a history list of the last 20 text search arguments.

In Visual Basic, everytime you press CTRL-F, you are presented with the 
"FIND" dialog.  You can type in the search argument, or accept the one 
that comes up by default (based on your current cursor position). Wouldn't 
you like to be able to recall a list of the most recent search arguments 
just incase the one you want is one you recently used??  This could save 
a lot of typing. A lot of other editors have this feature, why not VB?  
Well now it does!!!

************************************************************************

HOW IT WORKS


Run SearcHistory and it will remain on the screen as an icon.  When you 
press CTRL-F, the "FIND" dialog of SearcHistory pops up instead of the 
VB "FIND" dialog.  Pressing the "DOWN ARROW" opens the history list and 
you can scroll to see if the argument you want is there.  If you have a 
new argument, just type it in...it will automatically be added to the list.

When you press "ENTER" or click "OK", the SearcHistory "FIND" Dialog closes 
and the VB "FIND" dialog opens with your search argument already placed in 
the "Find What" field.  Simply press "ENTER" again (if you don't want to 
qualify the search) and the search begins just like normal.

SearcHistory holds up to 20 items in a history list that is saved to your 
hard drive everytime you exit the program or change History List directories.  
You may double-click on the SearcHistory icon to change the current directory 
where you want your history list to be stored.  This allows you to have 
several history lists on your hard drive (in different project directories 
for instance).  The SearcHistory "FIND" dialog will show the current 
directory path in its caption bar.  The history list in this directory will 
be read in whenever the program starts or whenever you change History List 
directories.

When you type in new arguments in the SearcHistory "FIND" dialog, 
SearcHistory checks to see if that argument is already in the list.  
If it is, it is moved up to the top of the list (the total number of 
arguments in the list doesn't change as it does with some editors).  
If the argument is NOT in the list, it is added to the top.  
The arguments are listed in reverse chronological order, that is, the last 
one used is the first one listed.

That's all there is to it.  A very handy utility for the VB Programmer.
