 - We moved the location of the 'Open only one instance of JabRef' preference option from "Network" to "General". [#9306](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9306)
 - The two previews in the change resolver dialog now have their scrollbars synchronized. [#9576](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9576).
 - We changed the setting of the keyword separator to accept a single character only. [#177](https://github.com/koppor/jabref/issues/177)
-
+- We replaced "SearchAll" in Web Search by "Search Selected" [#10556](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/10556)
 ### Fixed
 
 - We fixed an issue where the added protected term has unwanted leading and trailing whitespaces, where the formatted text has unwanted empty brackets and where the word at the cursor in the textbox can be added to the list. [#10415](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/10415).
