Using the Find and Replace Feature
The Search menu gives you access to basic and extended searches and to automated
replacement of extended characters and double-spacing. The Search tab in the Results
window displays the results of extended operations.
Search text selection options
Selecting text in a document automatically inserts it in the Find what text box. If you
select the Options > Settings > Editor > Select nearest word for searches option, the
following behaviors are enabled:
•
If no word is highlighted, the word closest to the current cursor position is
inserted in the Find what text box.
•
If the cursor is on a blank line, is inserted.
This option applies to both basic and extended operations.
Saving search text
You can reuse search strings for both basic and extended searches, but the method for
saving the search text differs.
•
Search text is automatically saved in the basic search. Open the drop-down list
for the Find what text box to enter a saved string.
•
You can selectively save search text in extended operations. Click the arrow
button next to the Find what box to selectively save and reuse entries.
