14.3 Find Braille
To find specific braille text, use the Find command (Space + F). The Orbit
Reader 20 Plus responds by opening an input field (see Edit Box section) with a
cursor, which is indicated by Dots 7 and 8. By default, it shows the text at the
current cursor location in the edit box. Unlike the Power Move, which searches
by known location of the text, the Find command searches the entire file for
instances of the braille text you enter in the input field. If you have searched for
something previously, that text appears in the Edit Box with your cursor at the
end. See the Power Move Forward and Back section for more information.
To find a word, first press Space + F to enter the Edit Box. Type the word you
wish to find, in the language selected for the reader/editor and then press Dot 8
to start the search moving forward in the file. To search moving backward in the
file, press Dot 8 + Left arrow. The word is shown as the first word on the display.
If the word is not found, the message "-- Not found" is displayed. Press Dot 7 to
clear the message. To exit the Edit Box without finding the word, press Select.
After the word is found, to continue searching, press Dot 8 + right arrow to find
the next occurrence (forward in the file) or Dot 8 + left arrow to find a previous
occurrence (towards the beginning of the file).
If you are searching for text in a contracted braille file, you must type the text you
want to search in contracted braille.
If you are searching in a plain text file, you must type the text you want to search
in Computer Braille. See Appendix A - Computer Braille Chart for details.
You can search for 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 only, type the text you wish to find with the
braille indicator for capitalization included (in contracted braille, one Dot 6
precedes a capital letter, while two Dot 6s precede an entirely capitalized word.
In Computer Braille, capital letters include Dot 7). 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 or end of the word. The Reader matches the space with
any non-printing character such as spaces, tabs, and line feeds.
