<h3>Bringing up the dialog</h3>
<table cellpadding="3px"><tr>
- <td valign="top"><p>There are two conditions in which Search/Replace
becomes available, one is when you are in Edit Contents mode in a text frame,
and the other is in Story Editor. In the former situation, select from the menu
<b>Edit > Search/Replace</b> (Ctrl+F is the shortcut). In Story Editor it will
be in its menu, and the keyboard shortcut works there as well.</p>
- <p>The dialog which you see here may look rather imposing, but it's
actually quite straightforward once you check out its features. In this very
simple example to the right, we have decided only to look for the text
“orient”, with the option to replace with “Asia”.
Furthermore, the boxes checked at the bottom say that we only want to find
“orient” as a complete word (“oriental” would not
match), and we will ignore case (“Orient” will also match).</p>

+<tr><td><p>The dialog which you see here may look rather imposing, but it's
actually quite straightforward once you check out its features. In this very
simple example to the right, we have decided only to look for the text
“orient”, with the option to replace with “Asia”.
Furthermore, the boxes checked at the bottom say that we only want to find

match), and we will ignore case (“Orient” will also match).</p>
<p>Your search can be even more interesting when you begin to add other
parameters. Not only can you search for these particular letters in sequence,
you might restrict your search to only that word in a particular typeface or
font size or color, and so on down all of these choices – they all can be
chosen. This is quite powerful, since what you may be interested in doing is
not changing the text at all, but just changing its character style or color.
Beyond that, searching for any particular text is optional, since you might
just search for all the text in small caps or in some color or style.</p>
<p>After there is some match you can then decide to <b>Replace</b> or
just <b>Replace All</b>, or skip to the next match by clicking <b>Search</b>.
If there are no further matches, a pop-up dialog appears saying, <i>Search
finished</i>. Given the size of this dialog, one tricky aspect is repositioning
so that you can see the match highlighted.

<h3>An unfortunate aspect, and its workaround</h3>
<p>There is a limitation in this process, and that is in text entry. You can
only directly enter characters from the keyboard, which might include spaces,
but not a non-printing character like a carriage return. Since the keyboard
shortcut for entering Unicode characters does not work here, this is not
possible, nor other special glyphs. If you have some system settings for
entering special characters from the keyboard, this should work as expected.</p>
