Panasonic KX-E2500 - Manual (Page 87)

Search
Direct Search enables you to quickly locate each occurrence of a
word or string of characters without scrolling through your text.
The KX-E2500 will find all occurrences of the word or character
string. It ignores print attributes such as bold or underscore and
also ignores upper and lower case. Because it finds every occur­
rence of the character string, when searching for small words such
as “the”, enter a space before and after the word on the search
menu so that only whole words are located. If a space is not
entered, in this instance, it will also stop at words such as “thea-
tre”and “them.” If searching for long words with a unique char­
acter string, it really isn’t necessary to type the entire word. For
instance, if searching for a proper name such as “Cimilluca,” in
the search string it is fairly safe to say that if “Cimi” is entered on
the search menu, the cursor will advance directly to the name
“Cimilluca.” If you are searching for a misspelled word, be sure
to spell it incorrectly when entering the search string. In addition,
the KX-E2500 also enables you to search for a manual return by
entering
CODE + RETURN in the search menu. If you enter two
manual returns on the search menu you will be able to search
paragraph by paragraph through your text.
When a search command is activated, the typewriter will search
from the cursor position to the end of the text. For this reason, it
is always best to search from the beginning of your document. The
cursor positions itself to the immediate right of the word or char­
acter string entered. You can easily edit or delete the word
(QUICK ERASE) and continue the search by pressing CODE +
INDEX ( j, ). You also have the ability to search to a previous
occurrence by pressing CODE + REVERSE INDEX ( ^ ).
