| **Item** | **Description** |
| Property Type | Search the project for a specific color or sting of text. |
| Scope Type | Global will allow the user to identify every spot of the project that uses the color/string. Pages restricts the search to just objects on selected pages in Search Scope. |
| Search Scope | Constrain the amount of areas that are being searched based on the Scope Type. |
| Search For: | The actual color or string of text being searched for is placed in this field. |
| ![image](media://985f7b24-9b6a-40b1-ad57-0ca8a723112b) | Regular Expression (regex) allows the user to look for variations of a string (i.e. the regex `N.w` would identify any string with an "N" then some character followed by a "w", where `.` is a wildcard). |
| ![image](media://cf6bb8dc-c55c-4a99-acc0-bf0429da5c17) | Case Senstivie allows the user to identify specific variations of a string (i.e. “New” would only identify the strings with “New”, specifically with a capitalized “N”). |
| ![image](media://4e541d9d-2505-46bf-a7f3-48d992a36425) | Whole Word allows the user to identify only the exact text that is placed in the Search For: field (i.e. “New” would only identify the string “New”, and not where “New” is a part of another string such as “NewTag”). |
| Previous | Allows the user to go back one in the identification list. |
| Next | Allows the user to go forward one in the identification list. |
| Replace With: | Allows the user to exchange the sought out color/text with a replacement. |
| Replace Selected | Allows the user to only replace one identified spot with the color/text in the Replace With: field. |
| Replace All | Allows the user to replace all identified spots with the color/text in the Replace With: field. |
| OK | Closes the Find and Replace window. |
