C.3.4 Search page

The Editor Options dialog's Search page contains options related to the editor's text searching facilities in the Go menu and the toolbar.

Restart searching from the top/bottom of the file when a search fails

If this box is checked, then if a search operation reaches the bottom of the file, the search "wraps around" and continues from the top of the file. If it is not checked, searches fail if they do not find a match before reaching the end of the file.

This box is checked in both Windows mode and Emacs mode.

Use Emacs-style incremental search as the default search

If this box is checked, the search operation searches incrementally in the Emacs style, finding matching text as you type the search string. You must be in Emacs mode for this to work. Use Ctrl+S to search forward and Ctrl+R to search backward.

In Windows mode, this box is not checked. In Emacs mode, it is checked.
