            Bug ID: 133259
           Summary: Find All should always report no. of matches
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: luke.kendall at gmail.com

When you do a Find All, in all cases but one when you have at least one
successful matches, at the bottom of the document window Writer reports how
many matches there were, and how many characters or words matched.

This is a request to also report the number of matches in the edge case where
you have one or more successful matches but the number of characters matched is
zero.

This edge case happens when searching for zero-width text, such as ^$.

It means you can't know how many matches there are without some workaround like
replacing the matches with some text that isn't in the document and then
searching for that and then undoing the change.

Thanks for considering.
