5.41 Using the Find feature

To search on a text string or on a tag:

Under the Utilities menu, choose Find in current document.

The search utility is case sensitive so you must type the text string exactly as it appears in the document. Alternately, copy the text from the document and paste it into the entry box.

Press the Clear button if you make a mistake.

If searching on a tag, activate the search on tag option by clicking with the mouse on the search on tag radio button.

Type into the entry box the tag exactly as it appears in the tag legend (under the Help menu). For example, to search on a Named Entity tag of type PERSON, one would type: ENAMEX TYPE=PERSON.

Either press the Find First button or use the key sequence <Control-f>.

If found, the text display will scroll to the first occurrence and underline it. If it is not found, a message will be launched that informs the user that the string was not found.

Press the Tag Selection button to add the current tag, as displayed in the tag menu, to the underlined occurrence of the text string.

To find subsequent occurrences of the string, use Find Next or <Control-g>.
