Open search
Use the search control, Command+F on macOS, or Ctrl+F on other platforms. If your terminal does not forward the shortcut, use F8.
Enter distinctive text and move between matches. Search locates specific content; the minimap shows its overall distribution.
Check unexpected results
Shorten the query and confirm the text is in the current canvas or page. The canvas stores actual characters: similar symbols, spaces, and line breaks can affect matches.
An Agent can also find text and read the surrounding region. See Agent workflow.
