Supress redirect is missing

I remember there being an option to suppress the generation of redirect pages (the known issues section in the instructions mentions this as well). As of ReplaceText version 1.7 I can't see that option on any of my wikis. The user in question has the rights to suppress redirects, and the option is present when I try to move an individual page. How do I make this option available again?

Do you mean an actual checkbox in the interface, or something like that? I don't remember such a thing. The "Known issues" section only mentions the 'suppressredirect' permission, I think. Or is that what you're talking about?

Seems there was such an option, or at least closely related.

See bottom of second screenshot in the Screenshots section. => "For moved pages: ..."

Oh - were you just talking about the "Save the old titles as redirects to the new titles" checkbox? That checkbox is still there.

I just used it on another of my wikis and that section is there, correct. But on this one and another it's not. Both are MW1.40 and ReplaceText 1.7, both use vector legacy (2010) skin. I uploaded a screenshot to demonstrate.

@Tenbergen: The search text 'needs' to be found inside the page-title for those "For Moved Pages" options to show up. (It was not possible to verify if that was, or was not, the case in your screenshots)

Arrrr yes. You are right, I would only expect to see it if there were pages found that could be moved. And when there are, it shows up. Thanks for explaining the obvious, sorry I wasted your time.
