Continuing the search
To display the next record in which the term is found, click the icon in the
toolbar or invoke the command Edit > Search again (keyboard shortcut: (F3)).
Notes on search terms
Date fields: If you want to search for date entries in data records, you must enter
them in the format MM/DD/YYYY – so for e.g. September 25, 2012, you must
type 09/25/2012.
Memo fields: Memo fields cannot be searched.
Wildcard searches with “?”: By entering one or more question marks within the
search term you can widen the search. The question mark represents any character.
Thus, in a search for “Me?er”, for example “Meier” and “Meyer” will be found.
Options in the Search dialog
You can modify the search with the options in the Search dialog, as follows:
In Field
Select the All fields option when all fields in the database are to be searched.
Alternatively, you can select a specific field, when only this field is to be
searched.
Search from beginning
If this switch is activated, TextMaker begins the search at the first data record;
thus it will search the complete database. Otherwise the search begins with the
active data record.
Search backwards
If this switch is activated, the database is searched in reverse record order.
Case sensitive
If this switch is activated, the search engine takes account of the case of the
characters in the search term. Thus, in a search for “House,” only “House”
would be found – not “HOUSE,” “house,” etc.
