The Find command does work in a document, but not in a list of folders/files in a folder or the User Guide accessed with ENTER with BACKSPACE with H or SPACE with o, then U (on the QT, FUNCTION with O, then u, or READ with HELP, or FUNCTION with U). If one wanted to search in the User Guide, the only present solution would be to open the individual chapters and look for the search string (or one could do something like make a separate copy of their User Guide with all the files merged together using the Block Commands>Insert File option, or one could download the manual as one file from the PDI website, and then they would have an entire manual they could search in one file). Tedious, but that's all I can suggest at the moment, as, as you and others know, you cannot do a direct Find when accessing the manual through the Options Menu. In addition to documents, it will work on Web pages, the Web history of KeyWeb, e-mails, in the Book Reader, and in the Planner. You can search forward or backward, there is a keystroke to find the next occurrence, and you can also do a Find and Replace. However, there is no global Find feature, meaning you search outside a document/Web page/e-mail/Planner page, and your results come from a search of all materials on the unit. This would be a useful feature to have especially when one has many files and must get to one quickly, but doesn't have the time to browse their various folders and open various files. Never having used the BrailleLite, I don't know what that unit's Find feature is like, but that's how it is on the PDI products at the moment.
