HP 95LX - Searching for Information

Searching for Information
Once you have a collection of information loaded into your HP 95LX, you want to
be able to find it easily and quickly. Four of the built-in applications have a method
for automatically searching for data. Lotus 1-2-3 includes this functionality as a
part ofits database ((/]Dlata) feature, which is discussed on pages 70-74. The other
applications which allow searching are discussed below:
Using the Memo Editor to Search for Text in a « TR Document
1. Open the document you wish to search using the Memo Editor. Make sure the
cursor is at the beginning of the file (CTRUH{«))
2. Press [F7) (SEER).
3. Type in the text you want to find. The search is not case-sensitive; it treats
upper and lower case identically.
4. Press [ENTER], to begin the search.
5. To find another occurrence of the search text, press again.
Searching the Appointment Book
You can search for the occurrence of a particular text in all daily appointments and
to-do lists (and their notes) within two years (before or after) the current day:
1. Make sure you are in a daily view. (If the label above says |KEI¥, press
to move to the daily view.)
2. Press [F7) (Skis).
3. Type the text you want to find (39 characters maximum). The search is not
case-sensitive; it treats upper and lower case identically.
4. Press (F5) (HES to search backwards in time. You will see the daily view or
to-do list that contains the search text—although it may be hiding in the note
for that day or to-do list. Keep pressing (F5) ((Ml=%) until a message reports that
no match is found.
5. Press (F7) (REERY) to find any occurrences of the text after the initial date.
Repeat until you see the message reporting that there are no more matches.
