You can search for elements in either the Available
Elements pane or Subset pane by using the Find in Subset toolbar.
This
feature performs a simple text search for elements that match a spelling
pattern that you enter. This is especially useful when you want to
find a specific element within a large list of elements.
Note: The Find in Subset feature does not support wildcard characters,
such as the question mark (?) or asterisk (*), in your search text.
Instead, an asterisk (*) wildcard character is inserted at the beginning
and end of the spelling pattern that you enter so that it searches
for any occurrence of the pattern in the element list.
For
example, if you enter the spelling pattern ost, this converts to *ost*
and matches such as Cost and Boston are found.
Procedure
- Click Find in subset
or press
Ctrl+F.
The Find in subset toolbar opens in the Subset editor.
- Type a spelling pattern in the search box.
A
spelling pattern can include one or more alphanumeric characters,
but should not include wildcard characters.
The
list of elements is searched as you type a spelling pattern.
- If one or more matching elements are found, the first matching
element is located and highlighted in the list.
- If a matching element is not found, the search box temporarily
displays a red background.
You can also start your search at any location within the
element list by clicking on an element in that section of the list.
The search begins from this new start point when you continue your
search.
- Click Find next or Find previous to
navigate through the element list when more than one matching element is found.
You can also use the following keyboard commands to navigate:
- Press F3 or press Enter to find the next matching element.
- Press Shift+F3 or press Shift+Enter to find the previous element.
If a next or previous matching element is not found, the search box temporarily displays a red
background, and the search cycles through the list again.
- Click Close the findbar
to close the
Find in subset toolbar.
