4. Under Containing text, enter the search string.
   To search using recently used text or expressions, click the list under Containing text and make a selection.

   Note: Your search string can include wildcards, but it cannot include operators.
5. Optional: If desired, select one or more Options:
   • Case sensitive to find only text that matches the case in your search string.
   • Whole word to find only whole words that match the search string. (If this is selected, a search for "cat" would ignore the word "caterpillar".)
   • Regular expression if your search uses a codified pattern to represent multiple characters. If this option is not selected, the [ ] characters, if used, will be interpreted as wildcards.
6. Click Search
