[[search]]
=== Search
For searching within a patch file, a Vim-like search is supported.
Typing `/` opens the search box. Typing in the search box immediately
highlights matches in the patch file with a yellow background. Using
JavaScript regular expressions in the search term is supported. The
search is case insensitive. After confirming the search by `ENTER` one
can navigate between the matches by `n` / `N` to go to the next /
previous match. Skipped lines are automatically expanded if they
contain a match and one navigates to it.
For additional possibilities to search please check the
link:http://www.vim.org/docs.php[Vim documentation]. There are other
useful ways to search, e.g. while the cursor is on a word, pressing `*`
or `#` searches for the next or previous occurrence of the word.
Searching by `Ctrl-F` finds matches only in the visible area of the
screen unless the link:#render[Render] diff preference is set to `Slow`.
