FindSettings
{...}
FindSettings is a global option that stores settings associated with the Find dialog box. This dialog box is accessed by clicking the Find 
Find... command. FindSettings consists of the following suboptions.
"FindString"
• "FindString" is a global option that stores the value of the last string that was searched for using the Find dialog box.
• "FindString" is usually set by typing text into the "Search for:" field of the Find dialog box. Alternatively, you can click Find Enter Selection to make selected text in the notebook the value of "FindString".
• You can search for any occurrence of a special character by setting "FindString" to the full name of the character. For example, to search for the next occurrence of the Greek letter 
, you can set "FindString" 
\[Alpha].
• You can search for typeset expressions by specifying the box structure in linear syntax. For example, to search for the next occurrence of 
, you can set "FindString" \!\(x\^2+y\^2\).
• You must perform a search using one of the buttons in the Find dialog box for the value of "FindString" to be updated.
"ReplaceString"
• "ReplaceString" is a global option that stores the value of the string to be inserted in place of highlighted text in the current notebook.
• "ReplaceString" is usually set by typing text into the "Replace with:" field of the Find dialog box.
• You must perform a search using one of the buttons in the Find dialog box for the value of "ReplaceString" to be updated.
• You can also replace text with a special character by setting "ReplaceString" to the full name of the character. For example, to replace the selected text by the Greek letter , you can use the setting "ReplaceString" \[Alpha].
"IgnoreCase"
• "IgnoreCase" is a global option that determines if a search carried out using the Find command is case-sensitive.
• With the default setting "IgnoreCase" False, searches are case-sensitive.
• With the setting "IgnoreCase" True, searches are case-insensitive.
"Wraparound"
• "Wraparound" is a global option that determines if a search should be continued at the start of a notebook when the search reaches the end.
• With the setting "Wraparound" False, a search terminates when it reaches the end of a notebook.
• With the default setting "Wraparound" True, a search that reaches the end of a notebook is continued at the start of that notebook.
"WindowMargins"
• "WindowMargins" is a global option that determines the size of margins around the Find dialog box.
• "WindowMargins" {{left, right}, {bottom, top}} determines the distances from each edge of your screen to each edge of the window.
• The values of left, right, bottom, and top are given in points, where 72 points equal one inch.
• Negative values of left, right, bottom, and top represent edges that are off the screen.
• Typically only two distances are given explicitly; the others are set to Automatic, indicating that they should be determined from the size of the window.
• The settings for "WindowMargins" change automatically whenever you move a window around interactively on the screen.
• The window edges closer to the edges of the screen are typically assigned explicit margin distances; the other edges are set to Automatic. This allows the same setting for "WindowMargins" to work on screens of different sizes.
