Find
Enter the text to be searched for into the search box and press Enter.
(To close the search box, press the Escape key or click the little "X".)
Find and Replace
Opens the Find and Replace dialog, from which you may search for text and optionally replace one or all occurrences.
Both searching and replacing may be done either forward (the default, toward the end of the document) or backward (toward the start).
Additionally, you may specify if the found text must match the case of the search text,
i.e., if "Casablanca" matches only "Casablanca" and not the uncapitalized "casablanca".
Find Next
Repeat the last search, searching forward toward the end of the document.
If the text is not found by the end of the document, searching will continue from the start.
Find Previous
Repeat the last search, searching backward toward the start of the document.
If the text is not found by the start of the document, searching will continue from the end.
