With Atlantis you can easily search for the desired text within your documents in various ways.
To start searching, either click the button on the toolbar of Atlantis or press the Ctrl+F keys.
If you plan to replace the occurrences of the found text with another text, press the Ctrl+H keys.
The Find / Replace window appears (the below text refers the controls of this window).
Then in the Find field specify the text which you want to find.
If you plan to perform replacing not just searching, you also have to specify text which should be used to replace each occurrence of the text being searched for.
The replacing text should be specified within the Replace With field (the empty string allowed here).
You can easily add any 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.
In the Search Direction list box you can 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.
You can perform most searching operations even when the Find / Replace window is closed.
The following table contains the hot keys which emulate clicking the buttons of the Find / Replace window.
Hot Key | Button of the Find / Replace window |
F3 | Find Next |
Ctrl+Shift+F5 | Replace Next |
Shift+Alt+F5 | Replace All |
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F5 | Emulates clicking one of the above buttons which was last clicked (for example, if the last button which you clicked within the Find / Replace window, was the Replace Next button, then this hot key emulates clicking the Replace Next button too. |

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 of the Find / Replace window). Then the end point for searching (the ending or the beginning of the document) is achieved, Atlantis does not automatically resumes searching within the rest part of 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 ending of the document) before starting searching. |
