# Tips

If you first select a portion of text in the document, and then start a simple search or open the Find and Replace dialog, the text you've selected will appear in the search entry.

# Search options

The Find and Replace dialog presents the search options as check boxes.

For the simple search, click on the Magnifying Glass icon in the search entry field.

选择 区分大小写 实现对大小写的严格匹配。

Select Match Entire Word Only to search for a specific word without including fragments of other words.

For example, if you searched for the word “and” with this option selected, the word “and” would be matched, but the words “sand” and “commander” would not be matched.

Select Wrap Around to continue at the other end of the document when going to the next or previous search result.

# 使用转义字符

In a search or replace entry, you can use escape sequences with the following meanings:

## \n

换行符

## \r

回车

## \t

制表符

## \\

Backslash. If you actually want a backslash and avoid one of the above special meanings, the backslash needs to be escaped.
