First, click the Find tab if you simply want to find some text in your document.
If you would need to replace the found text with another text, click the Replace tab.
Then use the Find field to specify the text that you want to find.
If you plan to perform replacing not just searching, you also have to specify text that should be used to replace each occurrence of the text being searched for.
The replacement should be specified within the Replace With field (the empty string allowed here).
You can easily add the desired special symbol either to the Find field or Replace With field.
For this, click the button opposite the required field, and choose the desired special symbol from the menu popped up.
If the Case Sensitive option is on, Atlantis will differentiate uppercase from lowercase when performing a search.
If the Whole Words Only option is on, Atlantis will search for whole words only.
With this option off, the search string might be found within longer words.
Use the Search Direction list box to specify a direction for searching:
Forward – Atlantis will search for text from the current cursor position down to the end of the document,
Backward – from the current cursor position up to the beginning of the document.
Click the Find Next button to find the next occurrence of the text being searched for.
Click the Replace button to replace the currently selected occurrence of the text with the new text. After replacing, Atlantis searches for a new occurrence of the text being searched for.
Click the Replace All button to replace all occurrences of the text being searched for.

If the Find Word at Cursor option (the Tools | Options... command, Edit tab) is on, and there is no text selected in the active document, Atlantis will automatically place the word at the current cursor position to the Find field. If this option is off, the Find field will contain a word for which you previously searched. |

Atlantis searches for text from the current cursor position either down to the end of the document or up to the beginning of the document (the direction for searching depends on the state of the Search Direction option). When the end point for searching (the top or the bottom of the document) is achieved, Atlantis does not automatically resume searching within the rest part of the document. So if you require to perform searching within the whole document, you have to place the cursor to the start point for searching (either to the beginning or the end of the document) before starting searching. |
