You can use the search function to quickly arrive at points where you would like to make
changes, e.g. in very large programs.
Various search options are available that enable selective searching.
● Whole words
Activate this option and enter a search term if you want to search for texts/terms that are
present as words in precisely this form.
If, for example, you enter the search term "Finishing tool", only single "Finishing tool"
terms are displayed. Word combinations such as "Finishing tool_10" are not found.
● Exact expression
Activate this option if you wish to search for terms with characters, which can also be
used as place holders for other characters, e.g. "?" and "*".

When searching for specific program locations, you have the option of using place holders:
"*": Replaces any character string
"?": Replaces any character

search for place holders ("*", "?") in program lines.
