<expand|tmdoc-title|Search and replace>
You can start searching text by pressing <key|C-s> or
<apply|menu|Edit|Search>. During a search, the ``search string'' is
displayed at the left hand side of the footer. Each character you type is
appended to this search string and the next occurrence of it is surrounded
by a red box. When pressing <key|C-s> a second time during a search, the
next occurrence is being searched. A beep indicates that no more
occurrences were found in the document; pressing <key|C-s> will continue
the search at the beginning of your document. You may press
<key|<key-backspace>> in order to undo key presses during a
search.
Usually, text is being searched for in a forward manner, starting from the
current cursor position. You may also search backwards, using <key|C-r>.
During a search, only text in the same mode and the same language will be
found, as those which are active at the position where you started your
search. In other words, when searching an <with|mode|math|x> in math-mode,
you will not find any x's in the ordinary text. As a current limitation,
the search string can only contain ordinary text and no math-symbols or
more complicated structured text.
A query replace is started by pressing <key|C-=> or
<apply|menu|Edit|Replace>. You are prompted for a string which is to be
replaced and the string by which to replace. At each occurrence of the
string to be replaced you are prompted and you have to choose between
replacing the string (y), not replacing it (n) and replace this and all
further occurrences (a). Like in the case of searching, the query-replace
command is mode and language sensitive.
