Find Braille
To find specific braille text, use the Find command (Space + F). Orbit Reader
responds by opening a blank input field (see Edit Box section) with a cursor,
which is indicated by dots 7 and 8. Unlike the Power Move (see this section),
which searches by known location of text, the Find command searches the
entire file for instances of the braille text you enter in the input field. If you
had searched for something previously, that text appears in the Edit Box
with your cursor at the end.
To perform a search, type the braille text you wish to find, then press dots 8
to start the search. To search forward, towards the end of the file, press
dots 8 6. To search backward, towards the beginning of the file, press dots 8
3.
If you are searching for text in a contracted braille file, you must type the
text you want to search for in contracted braille.
If you are searching in a plain text file, you must type the text you want to
search for in Computer Braille. See Appendix C - Computer Braille Chart for
the Computer Braille Chart.
The Reader accepts search terms up to 255 characters long. Searches are
generally not case sensitive. A search for the word "animal" results in finding
both lowercase and uppercase versions of that word (animal/Animal);
however, if you want to find words with upper case letters specifically, type
the text you wish to find with the capitalization included. For example, a
search for the capitalized word "Animal" gives the results for "Animal"
(capitalized), but not "animal" (lowercase).
Additionally, searches match both whole and partial words. Searching for
"an" finds "an" (whole) and "man" (partial). To restrict searches to whole
words, add a space at the beginning and end of the word. The Reader
matches the space with any non-printing character such as spaces, tabs, and
line feeds.
Read the section on Edit Box for editing commands and navigation
functionality.
When you search files, the Reader moves the file reading position to the
next occurrence of the searched for text and displays it at the beginning of
the display line. If it cannot find the text, the Orbit Reader displays "Not
found" and leaves your file reading position where it was before the search.
If searching through a larger document, the Orbit Reader displays "Busy"
while conducting the search.
