>>>Ok, I wasn't sure if it was like that or not in VS 2008. But, if I brought it, there was a good chance I never experienced that in VS 2008. I will let you know about this research. I am pretty sure they would have come up with an option if they changed the behavior.

>>I see the same behavour in VS2008 and VS2010 (VB and C#) : If the search expression exists in a collapsed region then the region is expanded. Personally I'd think any other behaviour would be a nightmare - most of the time you would have to manually expand all collapsed regions prior to a search to be sure of not missing something.....

Ah. VS2008 has the choice of searching hidden text or not. Option has disappeared in VS2010.....
