I made a map of my home town with a text layer for annotations. Then try to use find text for certain items. When I get f.i. 7 objects found, how can I move to the next result?,
I must add that stepping to the next text object worked after my try of grouping and ungrouping. Apparently this does some kind of sorting which seems essential.

thanks, Jan
When you have a successful search result it returns a selection which contains all of the matching items.
It's a bit different from a text editor which cycles through all of the matches.
The only workaround I know of is this :
After a successful match, use Object>Group.
This creates a group of all the matches.
Then if you double click a single item in that group, Tab goes forwards in the order, and shift + Tab goes backwards
Thank you inklinea.
With grouping and using Inkscape 1.0 it did not work for me. In fact it worked for me without grouping, which makes it even easier to use.
Thanks a lot.
inklinea,

inklinea,
I did not use the double click correctly, so your first answer was right in the first place. Sorry about my learning process.
