# NCSA Mosaic Document Search

The "Find in Current..." option in the File menu pops up a dialog box, from which you can search for words and phrases inside the document you're currently viewing.

Searching starts from the top of the document. Type in your search term and press the Find button; Mosaic will jump to the first occurrence of the search term and highlight the matched text. Press Find again repeatedly to jump to subsequent occurrences of the search term. When there are no more matches, a dialog box will be popped up telling you so. (Pressing Return in the text field is equivalent to pressing the Find button.)

To reset the search process (i.e., clear out the search text and reset the search to the top of the document), press the Reset button at any time.

Every time you view a new document (by jumping to it via a hyperlink, or moving through the window history list, etc.), the search position will be reset to the top of the document as if Reset had been pushed -- but the search text itself will not be cleared out, for your convenience.

The two toggle buttons in the search window work as follows:

Caseless Search
  If this toggle is on, then case will be ignored during the search. Otherwise, case will be significant.
Backwards Search
  If this toggle is on, then the next search action (caused by pressing the Find button or hitting Return in the text field) will look backwards through the text from the current search point.
