Search Up or Search Down button will jump to the next occurrence of the
string in the file under edit, and the matching area will be highlighted in

a highlighted search match or the cursor position if no match is highlighted.
When no more matches are found in the search direction, a “String not found”
warning is shown.

The Replace and Replace All buttons are used in conjunction with the text in
the Search text field. Replace will substitute the string in the replace text field

begins, progress bars indicate the status of the search and replace. For lengthy

processes, an Abort button will permit the Replace All to be cancelled. The Replace All may be
cancelled automatically if the replace would result in a file that exceeds size limits.
