[Tip]

The text selection, if any, is automatically used to initialize the Search field of the Search tool. As a consequence, in some cases, you don't need to use the Search tool at all. For example, selecting some text in the document and then directly pressing Ctrl+G (Search → Find Next) is the quickest way to find the next occurrence of the selected text in the document.

Find Previous

[6] Turning off the "Start from current caret position" option allows to start searching from the beginning of the document (or from the end of the document depending on the Direction option).
