# 3.3. The Search Menu

Edit->Find (Ctrl-F)

  This opens the find dialog which is used to specify the Text to Find in the document. There is small text box for entering the search pattern which also doubles as a dropdown box. Clicking on the dropdown arrow at the side of the box makes available other recent search patterns. Other parameters are included to make the search more efficient. Selecting Case Sensitive will limit finds to entries that match the case (upper or lower) of each of the characters in the search pattern. Find Backwards directs the search to proceed in an upwardly direction. The Selected Text option keeps the search within currently selected text. Checking Whole Words Only prevents the search from stopping on words that contain the searched for pattern. The Search from Cursor option begins the search from the current position of the cursor within the document rather than from the beginning.

Edit->Find Next (F3)

  This repeats the last find operation, if any, without calling the find dialog box.

Edit->Replace (Ctrl-R)

  This command opens the replace dialog box. The replace dialog is identical to the above-mentioned find diolog with the addition of a Replace With: text entry/dropdown box. Using this dialog the user can specify both the text to be found and text with which to replace it.

Edit->Go to line

  This opens the goto line dialog box which is used to have the cursor jump to a particular line (specified by number) in the document. The line number may be entered directly into the text box or graphically by clicking on the up or down arrow spin controls at the side of the text box. The little up arrow will decrease the line number and the down arrow increase it. There is also a slide control to the right of the text box which allows the user to move the goto point in the document in an analog manner.
