# Find and Replace

The **Find and Replace** feature allows you to search or replace text within the currently active file.

There are two ways to open the Find and Replace bar at the top-right of the Editor:

* Press <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**F**</kbd> (Windows/Linux) or <kbd>**Cmd**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**F**</kbd> (Mac).
* Right-click inside the Editor and select the **\[Find and Replace]** from the context menu.

To open the bar with Replace expanded, press <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**Alt**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**F**</kbd> (Windows/Linux) or <kbd>**Option**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**Cmd**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**F**</kbd> (Mac).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have text selected when you open the bar, it is automatically filled in as the search keyword.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Replace is **not available** for users with **read-only permission**. Only the Find feature can be used.
{% endhint %}

#### Search Options

The Find bar includes three toggle buttons for refining your search:

* **Match Case** — Distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.
* **Match Whole Word** — Match only complete words, not partial matches within a longer word.
* **Use Regular Expression** — Treat the search term as a regular expression pattern.
