Searching for Text in a Source Pane

To find all occurrences of a string in a Source pane (or Comment pane, for projects and packages):

  1. Go to the pane in which you want to search for the string.  You may select text from the pane to be the search string.
  2. To launch the Find/Replace dialog, type Ctrl+F, or select Find/Replace from the pane's pop-up menu. 
  3. In the Find/Replace dialog, type the search string in the Find field (if it has not been filled in already).
  4. If you want to replace occurrences of the search string with another string, enter a Replace With string.
  5. Select Forward or Backward to indicate the direction of the search from the cursor's current position in the pane.
  6. Enable the Case-sensitive box if you want the found string to match the case given in the Find field.
  7. Enable the Wrap search box if you want the search to continue at the beginning of the pane once it has reached the end (or vice versa, for backward searches).
  8. Click the appropriate buttons at the bottom of the pane to run the search.  Click Close when you are done.
