Find dialog box
The Find dialog box lets you specify a text string you want to find in the source code pane. The following figure shows the Find dialog box.

Access this dialog box by choosing or pressing CTRL+F.
The Find dialog box also lets you specify the direction in which to search (Up or Down), and whether to match the letter case in the text string during the search (Match Case).
Click the Find Next button to begin the initial search, as well as subsequent searches, for the specified text string. The Debugger highlights the text found and scrolls the text into view, if necessary. If the text is not found, the Debugger displays an alert dialog box message.
You can also perform subsequent searches for the next and previous occurrences of the text string specified with the Find option by choosing and , respectively. The search wraps around to the beginning of the source buffer when it reaches the end of the buffer.
