There are three main build-in search mechanism: the standard dialog based Find/Replace/Find in files, the dialog-free Next/Previous search navigation and the bookmark system.
Dialog-based searching
The most powerful set of searching features is found in the standard dialog-based Find/ Replace/Find In Files.
The Find tab (accessible using Search -> Find or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F) gives access to searching. The Replace tab (Search -> Replace or Ctrl+R) is similar, but allows you to also replace the matched text after it’s found. The Search into Files tab (Search -> Search into Files... or Ctrl+Shift+F) allows you to search and replace in multiple files with one action. The bookmark submenu allows you to manage 10 bookmark for every file opened and allow to fast jump into a specific position into a file.
Note: Although a keyboard command can open and/or move input focus to one of the four tabs of the “Find” window, once this input focus is achieved, there is no possibility to switch to another of the tabs via the keyboard; the mouse must be used, or the window closed (via the Escape key) and the alternate tab’s keyboard shortcut (or menu command) then invoked.
Dialog-free search actions
The following commands, available through the Search menu or keyboard shortcuts, perform a search without invoking a dialog, because they reuse the previous pattern or find it in the current document:
Find Next/Find Previous repeat the current search, either down or up.
Please note that “selected” refers to the contents of the active stream selection. This also applies to the selected part of the caret line when a rectangular area is selected.
Bookmark
The following commands, available through the Search menu or keyboard shortcuts, create, delete or recall bookmarks into active document. You can manage 10 bookmark for every document opened.
* Add bookmark (CTRL + B): create a bookmark into actual caret position.
* Remove bookmark# (ALT + [0..9]): remove the relative bookmark (ALT + 2 remove the second bookmark).
* Go to bookmark# (CTRL + [0..9]): jump to the relative bookmark (CTRL + 2 jump to the second bookmark).
Clear all bookmark remove all bookmark present on active document.
