### Performing a Search

To start the search process, click on the Search button after entering the string of text you want found. The search routine in the IRE searches from the beginning of the design file until the first occurrence is found. If the routine finds a dialog box or window that contains the search text or symbol, it displays that dialog box or window and highlights the item, if possible. If the item is in a menu item or help table, the search routine displays a window indicating the location (the menu or help table) where the match was made.

To search for the next occurrence of the search item, either select the Search next item in the Edit menu or press F4.
