no settings for Find file: remember state (empty or not) of Content field.

i search a single string over bunch of files to start to edit using F4 but each time i do this i must put again the string.. cos the new behaviour of the patch [953b7e9f23bd2711115b231c53ecf7e0f8d9e510] from #3924 assumes that i must input each time in same file the string (if are thousand of times i must re input thousand of times)

What version of Midnight Commander is used?

1.2.26 also 1.2.24

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1 open mc
2 edit a file with almos 30000 lines
3 search for a string that are almost 1000 times
4 on each sear4ch i must put again that large string púfff

ALso in the panel views when i try to search

What is the expected output?

almost at least a configuration part where i can put content_is_empty=false

What do you see instead?

empty test that i understand its pretty great if we must to search many different strings but for same string its pretty tired

PD please if there any posibility to backport also to those versions

Don't understand.

Probably, you should use search history.
