String Search

 You can search for strings in the currently displayed dvi file on dviout. You can also search for 2-byte character strings (hiragana, kanji, etc.) for Japanized dvi files by pTeX (a Japanized TeX developed by ASCII corp.).

The search string can be specified in "Search->Find..." or from the Combo Box in the Toolbox. If same string as in a previous search is used, press the arrow of the Combo Box and select from the list.

Word search: This option is possible only when the string consists of only alphabetical letters. Spaces before and after the input string are regarded as also a part of string to be searched. However, spaces inside the string are ignored, so "this is" and "thisis" is regarded as the same string.

Case-sensitive search: If this checkbox is off, the string search does not distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters of one-byte characters.

In "Property Sheets->[Search]", you can specify how to highlight the found string on the preview display. (By default, the string is shown in red.) Also you can specify the fonts to be ignored by -sFont:

Remark: The string to be searched should consist only of usual letters and some signs. If Windows system supports Japanese, it isn't allowed to contain a character whose code is larger than 127 and smaller than 257.

Remark: If the first character of the specified string is a space, the string following it is considered to be an anchor of HyperTeX or a source special.
For example "_#name1" is an anchor of HyperTeX with the label name1 and "_235_foo.tex" is the 235-th line of foo.tex in source specials (Here _ represents a space).
Moreover the string in the 235-th line of foo.tex can be indicated by / after line number. For example, "_235/This book_foo.tex" means to search the string "This book" corresponding to the 235-th line in foo.tex.
It is also possible to be "_235_*" as a source special.
Moreover "_235" means the 235-th page and following after the character '=', URL can be written as "_=http://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp"
