Select the drop-down list to display the last 20 items entered. To delete instances of the text specified in Find what, leave this field blank. To replace instances of the string specified in Find what with another string, enter the replacement string in this field. These controls enable you to specify what will be inserted in the place of the matched string or expression. Choosing any item from this list adds it to the string specified in the Find what box. Click this button to display a list of wildcards or regular expressions, depending upon the Use option selected. This triangular button next to the Find what box becomes available when the Use check box is selected in Find Options. To cause the search engine to interpret your search string as a regular expression, select the Use check box under Find Options and then click Regular expressions. If you want to use wildcards such as asterisks ( *) and question marks ( ?) in your search string, select the Use check box under Find Options and then click Wildcards. You can reuse one of the last 20 search strings by selecting it from this drop-down list. The dialog box attempts to fill in a probable search text, using text selected with the cursor before opening the dialog box, or nearby text, or previously searched-for text. These controls enable you to specify the string or expression that will be matched. Toolbar buttons and shortcut keys are also available to open the Find and Replace dialog box. On the Edit menu, point to Find and Replace, and then click Quick Replace to open the dialog box with both find options and replace options.
