# [Find] dialog box

This dialog box appears when you select [Find] from the [Edit] menu.
Use this dialog box to enter a text string for finding text strings, text annotations or Date Stamp annotations in a document. Search can be carried out in document view.

### [Text]

Enter the character string to search for. You can specify multiple character strings by delimiting them with spaces. If multiple character strings are specified, you can search documents containing any of the specified character strings. A text string cannot exceed 255 characters including delimiting spaces. Special characters such as carriage return and tab cannot be used.
Note

- To search for a character string containing spaces, place double quotation marks (") before and after the character string.
- If you want to search for a text string containing a double quotation mark ("), a back slash (\), or a space, precede the mark or character with a back slash.
- A maximum of 10 character strings entered in [Text] are saved as a history. You can select them from the [Text] menu. If you start the search from the Find toolbar, you can use the search history in common.
