Searching files
The Search function allows for searching a file in the various
media. You can open the Search window by touching the Search
icon ( ) while in the following pages:
• Song Selection
• On-the-fly TXT loading
• JukeBox Editor > Add
• SongBook > Edit2 > Browse
• Sampling > Load Sample
• Sampling > Import
• Media pages
Here is a typical Search window:

For
Touch the (Text Edit) button to type the name (or part of
it) of the item(s) you are looking for. During search, you can use
the wildcards "?" (any single character) and "*" (any sequence of
characters).
For example, if you are looking for songs with names containing
the word "love", you can use the "*" wildcard to write something
like "*love*". This will find out "My love", "Love is a wonderful
thing", and "War and love".
Also, if you are looking for words that can be spelled in a slightly
different way, you can use the "?" wildcard to find all occur-
rences; "gr?y" will find out both "gray" and "grey".
Depending on the page you are in, file types are automatically
filtered to match the current operating mode. For example,
while in the Song Selection window, you can only search for files
with the ".MID", ".KAR" and ".MP3" extensions (MP3 files can be
searched only if the EXBP-DualMP3 board is installed).

the size of the device(s) and the number of files.
Note: Only one search a-time can be carried on. Please wait for the
current search to be completed, or touch the Stop or Select button in
the display to stop the current search and do a new one.

button reverts to "Start" (see above). Any file found will remain
in the display, until you do a new search.
