  Use the Find command to search for the next occurrence
  of a text string in the active window. You can request
    ■ A whole-word match (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, $, underscore)
    ■ An exact (case-sensitive) match
    ■ A general pattern search using regular expressions
 
  You can bypass the menu with the following two
  shortcut keys:
    ■ CTRL+QF to call the Find command
    ■ CTRL+\ to find the currently highlighted text
 
  To find and replace text, use the Change command.
  After selecting Find from the Search menu
    1. Type in the text to search for
    2. Select options from the list
    3. Press ENTER or select <OK> to begin searching, or
       select <Cancel> to return to QuickPascal
