The Search box in the browsing dialogs and controls allows the user to enter text to search for, choose various search options, and navigate in the tree and/or list to nodes that fulfill the search criteria.

 

In order to find a node, type the text you want to find into the Search box (over the "Find..." text, if the box is otherwise empty). The Search box contains following icons:

The "x/y" indicator tells the user how many matching nodes have been found (y) and the position of the current node in them (x).

The Search box has a drop-down menu with additional commands. You can invoke the drop-down menu by clicking on the down-arrow box, or by pressing a down arrow key while typing. The drop-down menu is divided into 3 parts:

  1. Find. Contains a list of 10 recently used search texts, together with an icon indicating their search type. Selecting any of these commands repeats the corresponding search.
  2. Find options. Allows to influence how the search is being performed. Available options are Starts with/End with/Contains/Does not contain/Precise text, Match case, and Regular expression.
  3. Nodes. Contains a list of all nodes that fulfill the search criteria. Selecting any of these commands sets the corresponding node as a currently selected node in the tree/list.
