Executing a Search in the Source Text

Use

The schema editor includes different search functions that you can use to search the source text of a displayed schema or subschema for the existence of particular character strings.

With Search in displayed source text, you can search for a particular character string in the displayed source text. This search function is only available in the table display.
With Search in selected source text area, you can search for a particular character string in the selected source text area. This search function is only available in the graphical display.
In the graphical display, you can also carry out a global search with enhanced functions. With this search function, you can search the complete source text of a schema for the existence of particular character strings. In contrast to the search in the displayed source text, the system searches through the source text for the whole schema, not just through the selected search area for the displayed subschema.
