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:

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.
