search moving backward in the file, press Dot 8 + Left arrow. The word is shown
as the first word on the display. If the word is not found, the message
“—Not
found
” is displayed. Press Dot 7 to clear the message. To exit the Edit Box
without performing a search, press Select or Dot 8.
After the word is found, to continue searching, press Dot 8 + Right arrow to find
the next occurrence (forward in the file) or Dot 8 + Left arrow to find a previous
occurrence (towards the beginning of the file).
If you are searching for text in a contracted braille file, you must type the text you
want to search for in contracted braille.
If you are searching in a plain text file, you must type the text you want to search
for in Computer Braille. See
Appendix A - Computer Braille Chart
You can search for terms up to 255 characters long. Searches are generally not
case sensitive. A search for the word "animal" results in finding both lowercase
and uppercase versions of that word (animal/Animal). However, if you want to
find words with upper case letters specifically, type the text you wish to find with
the braille indicator for capitalization included (In contracted braille, one dot 6
precedes a capital letter, while two dot 6s precede an entirely capitalized word. In
Computer Braille, capital letters include dot 7.) For example, a search for the
capitalized word "Animal" gives the results for "Animal" (capitalized), but not
"animal" (lowercase).
Additionally, searches match both whole and partial words. Searching for "an"
finds "an" (whole) and "man" (partial). To restrict searches to whole words, add a
space at the beginning and end of the word. The Reader matches the space with
any non-printing character such as spaces, tabs, and line feeds.
Read the section on
for editing commands and navigation functionality.
When you
”search files”, the Reader moves the file reading position to the next
occurrence of the searched for text and displays it at the beginning of the display
line. If it cannot find the text, the Orbit Reader 20
displays “--Not found” and
leaves your file reading position where it was before the search. If searching
through a larger document, the Orbit
Reader 20 displays “--Busy” while
conducting the search.
To repeat a search moving forward toward the end of the file, press Dot 8 + Right
Arrow.
To repeat the search moving back toward the beginning of the file, press Dot 8 +
Left Arrow.
