Omea Reader Help: Searching: Quick Find

Using Quick Find

The Quick Find feature enables you to find resource items of a single type that match some keyword(s) in their content. Scope is limited to the resource type you are currently working with. For example, if you are working in the News tab, you can use Quick Find to find some text in the articles of the currently-selected newsgroup.

The Quick Find button is located on the resource toolbar.
