Find and Replace
The Find & Replace sidebar (screenshot below) enables you to search and replace text in Design View. Click the dropdown arrow of the Find button (highlighted blue in the screenshot below) to select the search options. You can search in text, styles, properties, variables, template matches, and XPath expressions for strings that you enter directly in the Find field or construct with regular expressions. All searches carried out in this sidebar apply to Design View. The menu commands Edit | Find and Edit | Replace sets the focus to this sidebar and places the cursor in the Find field, enabling you to proceed with a search in Design View. The results of the search are displayed in the sidebar. You can click on a result to go to the corresponding location in the design. To toggle the Find & Replace sidebar on and off, click View | Find & Replace.
For information about searching in other views (JavaScript Editor, Authentic View, and XSLT stylesheets), see the menu-reference topic Find, Find Next, Replace.
