Incremental Search

Incremental search highlights matching text in the document as you type it letter by letter. (This is similar to the search feature in several web browsers.)

To start an incremental search, choose Search ▸ Incremental Search. The search box appears at the top of the display area.

Begin typing, and text that matches will be highlighted in the document. The first instance after the cursor position is also selected.

To advance the selection to the next match while keeping the incremental search box open, press Ctrl+G. Press Ctrl+Shift+G to go back to the previous match.

You can also use the up and down arrow keys or the mouse wheel to move the selection between matches.
