Search menu

Find... (Ctrl+F)

Shows the Find dialog. After entering search conditions, searches for a specified Find what phrase within the document.

If the Down direction was specified, search is performed after the actual insertion point. Otherwise (for the Up direction) it is performed before the actual insertion point.

Optionally, a whole word option enables to search for whole words only. That means, that a phrase is located in the document only if it is the Find what phrase and also if no word letters are found directly before and after the phrase. Note, that the phrase itself may consist of non-word letters at will, only the context around the phrase is tested.

Furthermore, match case option allows to match case upon searching.

Find Next (F3)

Searches for a next occurrence of the recently specified search within the document after the actual insertion point. If no recent search was specified, shows the Find dialog.

Note, that if you specify an Up-ward search, the previous occurrence becomes the next one and vice versa.

Find Previous (Ctrl+F3)

Searches for a previous occurrence of the recently specified search within the document before the actual insertion point. If no recent search was specified, shows the Find dialog.

Note, that if you specify an Up-ward search, the next occurrence becomes the previous one and vice versa.

Replace (Ctrl+R)

Shows the Replace dialog. After entering search conditions and a Replace with phrase, searches for a specified Find what phrase within the document and replaces it with the Replace with phrase.

Tip: To [[Control:Button:Replace all:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] when too many occurrences are awaited, or to [[Control:Button:Replace all:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] within the selection only, use much faster and selection-oriented Extended Replace tool (hotkey Alt+Ctrl+R). See chapter Replacing tools.

Tip: If you need to replace individual characters for other characters, for examle, to get rid of encoding or punctuation, use the Translate Characters tool instead (hotkey Alt+Ctrl+T). See chapter Replacing tools.
