To find text in the Visual Merge interface
1. Click Find on the View menu. The Find bar displays at the bottom of application window.
2. Enter the text that you want to find in the Find field.
3. Select Case Sensitive to match the case of the text entered in the Find field.
4. Select Wrap to continue searching from the top of the file if the end of the file is reached without finding a match (when searching forwards) or from the bottom of the file if the top of the file is reached without finding a match (when searching backwards).
* 
If wrapping occurs as a result of the search, a message displays in the bottom right hand side of the window.
5. Select Whole Word to match the entire word entered in the Find field. If multiple words are entered in the Find field, this option is not available.
6. Click Find Next to start a forward search or Find Previous to start a backward search.
The next matching string, starting from the current search position, is scrolled to and highlighted.
If no matching string is found, a “Match not found” message displays in the bottom right hand side of the window.
* 
Searches start from the location of the last find result. If there is no find result, searches start from the current selection or (if nothing is selected) from the top or bottom of the document (depending on the search direction).
If you click in any of the view panes, the highlight is cleared and the search position is reset.
To hide the Find bar, click the X beside the Find field.
