Find dialog box

4In the text field, type the text you want to find.

5Check Match whole word only to match the text as whole word (not embedded in another word). Check Match case to match the case of the entered text.

6When finished, click the Find Next button.

7To continue searching in the same message for the next occurrence of the text, click the Find Next button in the Find dialog box, or choose the Find Text Again command from the Find submenu. These commands are equivalent and limit the search to the same message. Repeating these commands cycles through the matches in the open message only.

Starting at the cursor’s current position in the message, Eudora searches the current message for the specified text. If no match is found, the not found alert appears.

If the search is successful, the message is scrolled to the first point where the match is found and the matching text is highlighted.

Note. You can search for text in the messages summaries area of a mailbox. Just place your cursor in the summaries window and choose Find from the Edit window. Choose Find Text and enter the text you want to find in the Find Text dialog box. Eudora will high- light the first occurrence of the text.

Stopping a Find

If you want to stop Eudora from continuing a search, click the Stop button in the progress window, or press the Esc key.

Find Messages

Important. If you are using Eudora in Light mode, you have access to fewer features when using Eudora’s Search functionality.

You can perform complex searches through messages in all or a selected number of mail- boxes or folders. Once your search is complete, you can sort, delete, and view the resulting messages. You can search for a specific piece of information in all your mail or just search for a particular item that matches the criteria you set. Set up the criteria for your search by selecting options from the drop-down lists and by entering text.

To set up criteria for a message search, do the following:

1From the Edit menu, choose Find or press Ctrl+F. The Find submenu appears.

2From the Find submenu, choose Find Messages. The Find Messages dialog box appears.
