# Looking for an expression in a text

To find a word or an expression in a text, you can use the search tool. If it is not displayed, you can make it appear by clicking on its icon in the tool bar. This tool will allow you to search a word or a regular expression and to replace it if you want to. It can be case sensitive and look for isolated words.

Note: The search tool will look for the wanted word in the editor or in the context tool, depending on which one has the focus.

Tip: There are several accelerators that will make it even easier to perform a search. They are detailed in the editor help.

Tip: You can use the quicksearch to search in the current text. Press CTRL + F to get the quick search bar.
