Find (Choice and Dialog)

[ ]
Provide a Find choice in the Edit menu to search for elements that match specified criteria. These elements may either be:

  1. Within the view itself

  2. Within objects that are represented in the view

  3. In other objects, with the data in the view used, in part, to identify the other objects and/or the search criteria

    4. [ ]
    When Find is chosen, display a Find dialog window that allows a user to specify the parameters of the search. For example, when using the Find choice to search for text, allow a user to specify the text to be found, the direction of the search, sensitivity to text capitalization, and similar parameters.

    [ ]
    If Find is used to find one match at a time, and more than one match meets the criteria, keep the Find dialog displayed.

    [ ]
    When the user specifies new criteria (and matches are to be found one at a time) and chooses the Find push button, find the first match and display it in the dialog.

    [ ]
    When the Find dialog remains displayed after the user chooses Find within it, find the next match when the user chooses Find again.
