Searching for Text

 

To search for some text in a Mind Map, first enter the text to search for - either by typing it in, or pasting the text from somewhere else. If you have some text and you want to search for other occurrences of it in the Mind Map, you can select the press Command+E to enter the selected text into the find panel.

 

If you select the option to search in the current text only, it just looks in the branch or attached text graphic or branch note that you are currently editing. If you select to search in the Mind Map, it will start from your current location and search all the branches, attached text graphics, and notes in order around the whole Mind Map.

 

If you select the option "This Document", and have several Mind Maps in a single document NovaMind will search all the Mind Maps in your document.

 

If you select to search in all open documents, then NovaMind will also search all other documents you have open at the time.

 

The Result table is populated with the search results, and you can select the result you would like to view by clicking on it or by using the up and down arrows, or press Command+G to jump from one match to the next.

 

You can use the find panel to replace occurrences of the text you are searching for either one at a time or all at once. Just enter the replacement text in the find panel, and use the Replace or Replace All button.
