 pSearchTool by PaulComputing

This dialog allows you to search text in the currently focused text field.

This is a pToolSet module. Please see the manual for details.

 pSearchTool saves 128 of your recent and your favorite search strings each, the latter with full search profiles.

 pSearchTool supports almost the entire peditorial REGEXP library.

 Your REGEXP may also include all the peditorial REGEXP options and switches.

 EXAMPLES. "pedit[^ ]*"

 Please see pedit's manual (pedit_man.html#REGEXP) for details.

 Please note that all command letters are case sensitive.

 Start up Rules 

If the current text field has current text selection, then the selected text, but no more than 255 chars, gets copied into the "Find:" text field. 

Otherwise, your previous search string gets copied into the "Find:" text field.

 The "ESC = " button allows you to define your own ESC key. Tap it to reveal the "ESC" text field. Enter your new ESC key and then tap the "ESC =" button again.

Hint. Use the page up/down keys or the arrow up/down characters to scroll the alphabet in the "ESC" text field.

Hint. If the "ESC" key is active then the "ESC = " button inverts itself.

 Navigational Help in generic lists 

use the space, delete [backspace], tab, arrow, previous/next field, page up/down, 5-way navigator keys, and SilkScreen alpha/numer KeyBoard buttons to move up/down
