Why search in hidden lines?

[Pierre-de-la-Verre]

I have set "View - Diff-Context - 0 lines". Then I start s simple search for a string - it finds something e.g. on "line 4228, col .."
The problem is - the line is hidden and I can see nothing.

Is there a way to search only in displayed lines?

Unfortunately, for now, WinMerge will also search for hidden lines.
As a workaround, when you copy the whole text, the hidden lines are not copied, so you can paste them into another editor and search for them.

... for now, ...

So we can hope for the future ;-)
Thanks.
