Setting the Find and Replace dialog box options for an advanced text search

Use the Find and Replace dialog box to search for text or tags in a document, and to replace the found material with other text or tags.

To set find and replace options for an advanced text search:

  1. In the Search pop-up menu, select Text (Advanced).
  2. Enter text in the text field adjacent to the Search pop-up menu.

    For example, type the word Untitled.

  3. Select Inside Tag or Not Inside Tag, and then select a tag from the adjacent pop-up menu.

    For example, select Inside Tag and then title.

  4. (Optional.) Click the Plus (+) button to limit the search with one of the following tag modifiers:

    With Attribute lets you specify an attribute that must be in the tag for it to match. You can specify a particular value for the attribute or select [any value].

    Without Attribute selects an attribute that must not be in the tag for it to match. For example, select this option to search for all img tags with no alt attribute.

    Containing specifies text or a tag that must be contained within the original tag for it to match. For example, in the code <b><font size="4">heading 1</font></b>, the font tag is contained within the b tag.

    Not Containing specifies text or a tag that must not be contained within the original tag for it to match.

    Inside Tag specifies a tag that the target tag must be contained in for it to match.

    Not Inside Tag specifies a tag that the target tag must not be contained in for it to match.

  5. (Optional.) To limit the search further, repeat step 4.
  6. Follow the procedure in Setting the Find and Replace dialog box options to set other options and initiate the search.
