DW CS5 Search & Replace within a Found Set

Question

Can't get this to work in CS5. The actions below used to work in previous DW:
Action → Search and Replace
See 100 found results using Find All
Objective: to replace 50 of those results and leave the other 50 as is
Action that used to work ↓
With the 100 results showing, click on green arrow again to bring up the Find dialong again. In the found documents list, use the Control key to pick out the documents to replace, return to the Find dialog and select Replace.
That used to work to automatically replace the selected documents.
Is anyone familiar with this?

Answer 1

I just tried this in Dreamweaver CS3 (Version 9.0) and it does not work as you describe Dreamweaver CS4's capabilities. Instead, it replaces all instead of selected.
I think that the only way to get Dreamweaver to do a search and replace like that is to do your search, then, in the file viewer, do a replace for selected only—and not in the found documents list.
I realize this is a workaround that is not the same function but it does work.
