<p>The Find bar lets you find schema components in the current schema file. You can search for the following:</p>
samaresh@338
    55
<ul>
samaresh@338
    56
<li><b>Component Name.</b> Finds components whose name attribute matches the search phrase.</li>
samaresh@338
    57
<li><b>Component Kind.</b> Finds components whose kind matches the search query.</li>
samaresh@338
    58
<li><b>Attribute Declaration.</b> Finds components with attributes of a particular name.</li>
samaresh@338
    59
<li><b>Attribute Value.</b> Finds components with attributes of a particular value.</li>
samaresh@338
    60
<li><b>Namespace Usage.</b> Finds named component references that reference components of a particular namespace.</li>
samaresh@338
    61
</ul>
samaresh@338
    62
<p>You can also define the type of find to be performed:</p>
samaresh@338
    63
<ul>
samaresh@338
    64
<li><b>Search Selection.</b> When selected, starts the find action from the component most recently selected in the Schema view. That is, rather than searching from the root of the schema document, the search is performed within the selected sub-tree.</li>
samaresh@338
    65
<li><b>Use regular expression.</b> When selected, the phrase entered into the text field is treated as a regular expression, with case-sensitivity.</li>
samaresh@338
    66
</ul> 
samaresh@338
    67
<p><b>To find schema components:</b></p>

<li>In the Find box, click the magnifying glass icon <img src="../images/search_mag.png" alt="Magnifying glass in find box"> and select the type of find you want to perform: Component Name, Component Kind, Attribute Declaration, Attribute Value, or Namespace Usage.</li>
samaresh@338
    74
<li>If you want to find matches from a specific point in the schema, instead of performing a search from the root of the schema, select a component in the Schema view, and in the Find box, click the magnifying glass icon <img src="../images/search_mag.png" alt="Magnifying glass in find box"> and select Search Selection.</li>
samaresh@338
    75
<li>If you want to use a regular expression, in the Find box, click the magnifying glass icon <img src="../images/search_mag.png" alt="Magnifying glass in find box"> and select Use regular expression.</li>
samaresh@338
    76
<li>In the Find box, type the text you want to find or type a regular expression and press Enter.<br>
samaresh@338
    77
The IDE finds matching components and highlights the matches in the schema view.<br>
samaresh@338
    78
The IDE shows the number of matches to the right of the Clear button in the Find bar.<br>
samaresh@338
    79
The named matching components are highlighted in light orange. Components that reference the matching components may or may not be highlighted, depending on their names.</li>
samaresh@338
    80
<li>Use the Find Next and Find Previous buttons to cycle through the matching components.<br>
samaresh@338
