Tutorial: Toolbar Search

Index of All Documentation » Wing Pro Tutorial » Tutorial: Searching »


A quick way to search through the current editor or documentation page is to enter your search string into the search area provided by the toolbar:

/images/doc/en/intro/toolbar-search.png

If you enter only lower case letters, then the search will be case-insensitive. Entering one or more upper-case letters causes the search to become case-sensitive.

Try this now in example1.py: Type GetItem into the toolbar search area. Wing will search incrementally, starting when the first letter is typed. Press the Enter key to move on to the next match, wrapping around to the top of the file if necessary.

Toolbar-based searches always go forward in the file from the current editor caret position.

See Toolbar Quick Search for details.
