isearch(1)

NAME
Interactively search for string

DESCRIPTION
The isearch macro is used to interactively search for a string whilst it is being typed in. The intelligent search macro only supports looking for fixed strings (regular expressions are not allowed).

As the string is being typed in, the window changes to show where the entry is. Hitting the <Backspace> key allows the user to delete characters that are incorrect. If the current string cannot be found, then CRISP will beep and refuse to accept any new characters.

Hit the <Alt-S> key to search for a subsequent occurence, or <Alt-U> to back up to the previously matched string.

Interactive search mode can be aborted by pressing <Esc> or <Enter>.

MENU/KEYS
This macro can be accessed from the CRISP features menu or by typing i_search at the command prompt.
