<title>Tips</title>
<p>
If you first select a portion of text in the document, and then start a
simple search or open the Find and Replace dialog, the text you've
selected will appear in the search entry.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Search options</title>
<p>
The Find and Replace dialog presents the search options as check boxes.
</p>
<p>
For the simple search, click on the
<gui style="button">Magnifying Glass</gui> icon in the search entry field.
</p>
<list>
<item><p>
Select <gui>Match Case</gui> to make the search case sensitive.
</p></item>
<item>
<p>
Select <gui>Match Entire Word Only</gui> to search for a specific word
without including fragments of other words.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you searched for the word “and” with this option
selected, the word “and” would be matched, but the words
“sand” and “comm<em>and</em>er” would not be matched.
</p>

Select <gui>Wrap Around</gui> to continue at the other end of the
document when going to the next or previous search result.

<title>Using escape sequences</title>
<p>
In a search or replace entry, you can use <em>escape sequences</em> with
the following meanings:
</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title>\n</title>
<p>Newline</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>\r</title>
<p>Carriage return</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>\t</title>
<p>Tab</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>\\</title>
<p>
Backslash. If you actually want a backslash and avoid one of the above
special meanings, the backslash needs to be escaped.
