<desc>Search the <app>Terminal</app> output.</desc>
</info>
<title>Search for text</title>
<p>You can search text in the <app>Terminal</app> output:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Press <media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/keyboard-key-search.svg">
<key>Search</key> key symbol</media> in the top-right corner, or press
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>F</key></keyseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Type in the search keyword and press <key>Enter</key> to search
backwards. Alternatively, click on the arrows according to the desired
search direction.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>You can search using the following options to narrow down your
results:</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title><gui style="checkbox">Match case</gui></title>
<p>Make the search case sensitive: this restricts results to only those
that match the case of your search keyword.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui style="checkbox">Match entire word only</gui></title>
<p><app>Terminal</app> will look for the entire keyword and will ignore
results that partially match your search keyword. For example, if
you have searched for “cat”, <app>Terminal</app> will show only
results that match this keyword exactly and omit results such as
“bobcat”.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui style="checkbox">Match as regular expression</gui></title>
<p>You can use regular expression patterns, also known as regex
patterns, in your search keywords. <app>Terminal</app> will display
the results that match these search terms.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><gui style="checkbox">Wrap around</gui></title>
<p><app>Terminal</app> searches from your current location in the
scrollback to the end of available terminal output and then restarts the
search.</p>
</item>
</terms>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you expect to work with a lot of <app>Terminal</app> output, increase
the <link xref="pref-scrolling#lines">scrollback lines</link> to
a higher limit to allow <app>Terminal</app> to search further back.</p>
