Search within PB help page

Post by USCode »

I'm probably missing something obvious, but within the PB Help window (from the IDE choose menu Help > Help ...) is there a way to search and highlight all the occurrences of a search string within a help page?

Using the Help Search feature it lists all the help pages that contain the search string, but once you select that help page, I want to then find/highlight the actual occurrences of that search string on that page.

For example, if you select the Contents help page for "History", which is a large page, find all the occurrences of the search string "network".

I'm on a Mac. Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention in my original post that I'm on a Mac, and unfortunately that doesn't seem to work there.
Ctrl-F doesn't do anything, and Cmd-F switches to the IDE and opens the Find dialog.

Thanks, I was hoping there would be a way with the default Help window.
