To search for text in the current file

The Find Text dialog specifies the search string and search conditions for the current file in the Source Code Editor. Found text is highlighted in the editor. PressF3 to repeat the search.

Text to find

Enter the search string or select a string from a previous search from the drop down list. Note that the search string can be a Regular Expression.

Options

Specifies if the search is case sensitive, if only whole words are to be matched or if the search string is a Regular Expression.

Direction

The search direction is either forward or backward. When the origin is set to Entire Scope, a forward search starts at the beginning of the scope while a backward search starts at the end of the scope.

Scope

Specifies if the entire file is searched (Global) or if the search is restricted to the selected text.

Origin

The start position for the search is either the current cursor position or the entire scope.

Find in files

This tab is included in the Find Text dialog for convenience. A description how to extend a search across multiple files is found here.
