NotesRichTextRange.FindAndReplace disappearing text problem

Hi,I have a web application that highlights all the words found in a search query. I’m using the FindAndReplace function to add some HTML around each word to highlight it. My problem is, if I use the RT_REPL_ALL option on the FindAndReplace function, everything runs fine, but, if I don’t add this option, I lost all the italic parts of the paragraph where the word is located. Because I must use a loop I can’t use the RT_REPL_ALL option. Is this a known bug?

Here is my code:

…

'Get the number of replacements to do

nWord = 0

If rtnav.FindFirstString (tagStr, 7) Then

	nWord = 1

	While rtnav.FindNextString (tagStr, 7)

		nWord = nWord + 1

	Wend

End If



'If we can't find the special tag, we don't belong here

If nWord = 0 Then Exit Sub



Set rtrange = body.createRange

wordCount = 1

For wordCount = 1 To nWord

	

	'Check in the current word is the first or the last word

	If (wordCount = 1 Or nWord = 1) Then

		firstWord = True

	Else

		firstWord = False

	End If

	If (wordCount = nWord Or nWord = 1) Then

		lastWord = True

	Else

		lastWord = False

	End If

	

	'Build the forward and the reverse arrows

	If (firstWord) Then

		beforeCode = "["

	Else

		beforeCode = "[" + "<a style='" + tagStyle + "' href='#" + tag + Cstr(wordCount - 1) + "'>&lt;&lt;&nbsp;</a>"

	End If

	If (lastWord) Then

		afterCode = "]"

	Else

		afterCode = "<a style='" + tagStyle + "' href='#" + tag + Cstr(wordCount + 1) + "'>&nbsp;&gt;&gt;</a>]"

	End If

	

	'Build the replace string

	replaceStr = beforeCode + "<a tag='searchnav-" + tag + Cstr(wordCount) + "-' name='" + tag + Cstr(wordCount) + "'><font style='" + R_HIGHLIGHTPREFIX + "'>" + searchString  + "</font></a>" + afterCode

	

	'Replace the value

	Call rtrange.FindandReplace (tagStr, replaceStr, 15)

	body.Update

Next

…

If I replace the option number from 15 to 31, I can see the italic parts of the paragraph. But, obviously, I can’t get my links to work. Is this a bug or a misuse of the function?

Thanks!
