Finding text

To search for an item in your document or file view, first do the following to open the Find input area:

  1. Select Edit from the main menu.
  2. Select Find. The Find input area appears at the bottom of the Editor pane.

Specify the item to be searched for by doing the following:

  1. Type a search item in the Find text entry area. This can be a word, a partial word, or a sequence of such.
  2. Select your desired options.
  3. Click Next or Previous. If the entered text or pattern is found, the cursor moves to either the next or previous occurrence of the search item, according to your chosen search direction.
  4. Alternatively, click All. Only lines containing the text in the Find text entry field are shown, and all other lines are hidden from view. If you have enabled the Expand/hide area controls, a symbol appears to represent parts of your file where lines have been hidden from view. Clicking on the symbol displays those hidden lines. To show all lines again, select Edit->Show all from the editor menu bar.
  5. Close the Find text entry area by pressing Esc.
