Use Regular Expressions
The Find pattern is assumed a regular expression. See: Regular Expressions.
Wrap Around
If enabled, the search continues at the beginning of the file when it reaches the end of the file. The search will wrap around only once. If not enabled, the search stops when it reaches the end of the file.
Select When Found
If enabled, Source Insight will select any characters that match when a match is found. If not enabled, Source Insight will put the insertion point before the first character of the matching text.
Whole Words Only
If enabled, then Source Insight only finds matches that are whole words. If not enabled, then Source Insight will also find matches that are embedded in words.
Search Scope
This group of options specifies the scope and the direction of the search.
Forward
Searches forward starting at the current selection. The search is always forward if Selection or Whole File is checked.
Backward
Searches backwards starting at the current selection.
Selection
Searches only the current selection, in the forward direction.
Whole File
Searches the whole file, in the forward direction.
If neither Selection nor Whole File is checked, then the search continues from the current selection point, either forward or backwards through the file.
