In Visual Studio 2010 when I did an incremental search (using Ctrl+I) the cursor would automatically move to the first match (after the current cursor position) as I typed.

In Visual Studio 2015 all instances are highlighted as I type, but the cursor stays in the same place - I have to press F3 to actually go to the first instance. This is an annoying change.

Is there any way to get the cursor to move while typing in 2015?

There is no obvious option, either as part of the incremental search dialog or within Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Find and Replace


It appears that this functionality is doing as I expect when editing .cs, .vb, .html, .xml, .xslt files... but it does not work (i.e. no cursor movement) when editing .aspx or .ascx files.

Again, I've looked for specific options around the Tools -> Options -> Text Editor area (especially the HTML and HTML (Web Form) sections), but can't find anything


Anybody finding this question because they're suffering the same situation, please go into the Report a Problem within Visual Studio 2015 (in Send Feedback in the top right corner of the IDE, to the left of the Quick Launch) and search/vote for...

Incremental searching in aspx and ascx does not move cursor

(I've tried to find an external URL for the report, but can't find one.)
