How to Search Within a Document (Post)

Using the in-document search tool to find specific keywords or phrases.

When viewing a long regulatory document or post, you can quickly locate specific terms without reading the entire text. The system provides a dedicated search bar for scanning the content of the open document.

Activating the Search Bar

You can open the search tool using one of two methods:

  • Toolbar Icon: Click the Magnifying Glass icon (document search) located in the top right toolbar of the post view.

  • Keyboard Shortcut: Press CTRL+F (Windows) or CMD+F (Mac) on your keyboard.

Using the Search Tool

Once the "POST SEARCH" bar appears:

  • Enter Keywords: Type the word or phrase you are looking for into the text field.
  • Navigate Matches:
    • The system will display the total number of matches found (e.g., "1 / 5").
    • Use the Up (∧) and Down (∨) arrows next to the search box to jump between instances of the keyword within the text.
  • Close: Click the X icon to close the search bar and return to normal viewing.

 

Note: This tool performs an exact text match for your keywords within the currently open document. It does not search across other documents or the rest of the database.
