Which sounds more natural?
1. The software will automatically search for and fix the found errors.
2. The software will automatically detect and fix errors.
3. The software will automatically detect and fix the found errors.
4. The software will automatically find and fix detected errors.

Question

Answer

I agree with 2 stents.  I also think sentence 2 is the only logical one.   Sentences 1, 3, and 4 state that the software will "search for ... the found errors", "detect ... the found errors", and "find ... detected errors".    However,  the software is not used in order to search for, detect, or find errors which have already been found or detected.  It is supposed to search for, detect, or find errors which have NOT already been found or detected.

Answer

Thanks a lot! :)

Answer

I would say number 2 since you can assume the software will only fix the errors that it finds, so you don't need to say detected errors. However, if it is possible that the software will not find all the errors and you want to emphasize that, then I would say:  search for and fix the errors that it finds
