+
+ <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>
