• Text to Find
• Replace With

The above two comboboxes contain the last searched texts and replace patterns. Cursor Down will go back in history and fetch the last text to find.

Hint: You can choose, whether the IDE starts the dialog with the word at the cursor in the source editor or with a blank field in Environment -> Editor Options -> General -> Find text at cursor

Options

• Case sensitive - distinguish lower case and upper case (a and A)
• Whole words only - the found text must start at a word start and end at a word end
• Regular Expressions - see IDE regular expressions
• Multi line - the search does not stop at line ends or in other words: the found text can contain multiple lines. For example searching with regular expression begin.*Application will find

begin
  Something;
  Application

• Prompt on replace - ask before replacing (only enabled if replacing)

Origin

• From Cursor - start search at cursor. If direction is forward, it searches till the end of the file
• Entire Scope - If direction is forward it starts searching at the beginning of the file and searches till the end.

Scope

• Global - search in whole file
• Selected Text - limit the search to the selected text

Hint: To search multiple files use Search -> Find in files.

Direction

• Forward search - search top to bottom. Each line is searched from left to right.
• Backward search - search bottom to top. Each line is searched forward - left to right.
