Find & Replace
Ctrl+F opens Find; Ctrl+H opens the same window with the Replace row active. The window is modeless; leave it open while you edit. If you had text selected in the editor, it is already in the Find box; the next time you activate the window with a new selection, that replaces it.
Both boxes remember the last twenty things you typed; open the list to pick one again.
Scope and Options
Search the Current chapter (the default) or All chapters. Match case and Whole word do what they say. Matches are found in the text a reader sees; you don’t need to think about the underlying markup.
Include markup switches Find to the raw chapter source instead (tags, attributes, and entities included), so you can find and fix code from the Code pane (rename a class across the book, hunt down a stray tag). It checks itself automatically when you open Find while the Code pane has focus, and raw matches always land in the Code pane.
The Count
As you type, the window counts: 41 matches in 12 chapters across the book, or 7 matches in this chapter. While you step through them it reads 3 of 7.
Find Next, Find Previous, Replace, Replace All
Find Next (Enter, or F3) and Find Previous (Shift+F3) step through matches, selecting each in the editor, and in the Code pane too when it’s open. Both shortcuts also work from the Edit menu when the window is closed: they open it with your selection and step. Replace swaps the current match and finds the next; Replace All does the whole scope at once and reports Replaced 41 in 12 chapters. Replacements go through the normal editing pipeline, so Ctrl+Z undoes them chapter by chapter.
Find All
Find All lists every match at once (chapter and context) in a results panel under the search fields. Double-click a row (or press Enter) to jump straight to that occurrence; right-click one for Replace this one when you want to change some occurrences and keep others. The list reflects the moment it was built; after you’ve edited, run Find All again to refresh it.
