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:
- Magnifier: Clicking on it will search for (and highlight) all matching nodes in the tree/list. The currently selected node is not moved.
- Left arrow (Shift+F3): Searches for and highlights all matching nodes, and select the previous matching node. When typing, Shift+Enter has the same meaning.
- Right arrow (F3): Searches for and highlights all matching nodes, and select the next matching node. When typing, Enter has the same meaning.
- Blue cross: Clears the text in the search box, and removes all node highlighting.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
