The Search Menu contains commands for finding text or objects. The commands on the menu are:
Find --
Display a Find dialog.
Find Again --
Find the next occurrence of the previously searched for text in the current text buffer.
Finds in the currently-selected object (usually a text-edit buffer) what is on the clipboard.
Replace --
Display the Replace dialog allowing you to specify text to find and text to replace it with.
Find and replace the next instance of the previous thing found and replaced.
Display the Find in Files dialog.
Display the Definitions dialog. See also the Quick Find Definition menu command.
Opens the file containing the definition of the object (operator, variable, class) named by the currently selected symbol. If more than one type of object is named (a function and a class, for example), a lettered menu listing the choices is displayed (see pop-up-lettered-menu). If the system does not know where the definition of an object is or the selected symbol does not name an object, a beep is sounded and a message appears in the status bar. You can always use the Definitions dialog (displayed with Search | Find Definition for a more exhaustive search.
If you have Common Graphics/IDE source code installed in your Allegro directory, you need to load the file src\cg\loadsfi.cl in order for the definitions of Common Graphics or IDE objects to be found. That file may take some time to load. Look at the comments in that file for information on creating an image with the file already loaded.
Apropos --
Displays the Apropos dialog.
Display a menu (or dialog if there are a lot) showing possible completions of the symbol being typed. If there is only one completion, it is pasted with no menu or further action.
