This will open a search
dialog with a input text field for entering the search terms and checkboxes
to control how searching is performed. You can indicate whether matching
should be case sensitive and whether regular expressions or normal searching
should be used.</p><p>It is also possible to make an incremental search, also called type-ahead
searching. You can search either the whole document text or only link text.
The latter can be useful if you see a link deep inside a page and want to
get to it quickly.</p><p>Matches of the search term will be high-lighted. After having performed
document text search all matches will be high-lighted. To get rid of this
high-lighting you have to “search for the empty string”, that is open a
search dialog and just press Enter in the input field.</p><p>Previous search words are saved in the search history, so they can easily be
found and used later. Browsing the history will replace the current entered
search terms.</p><p>The basic default controls for searching are the following:</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="1"><colgroup><col width="81pt" align="left"><col width="342pt" align="left"></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="left">
