Action:

Searches down, from the top of the current main window page, for the search string you specify in the command. Repeating the command only locates the same occurrence of the search string. The search is not case sensitive.

Optionally, searches from the top of the Client window you specify as the value of the command's In window prefix.

Syntax:

[in window] searchFromTop search_string

where:

window is one of the following keywords, not case sensitive, which identify a Client window. Links are provided to help identify the less common windows:

about

auditTrail

commands

console

executionHistory

executionTrace

keyboardShortcuts

source

textviewer

value

watchWindow

webBuffer

search_string is the required search string, with no additional quotation marks.

To locate a target string that begins with an ampersand (&) and is not the name of a macro variable or Client function, prefix the target with a backslash (\) to treat the ampersand as a literal.

To locate a single backslash character, escape the target backslash with a second backslash (searchFromTop \\).

Command examples:

in WatchWindow searchFromTop printText

searchFromTop &a

(searches for value of macro variable &a)

in auditTrail searchFromTop \&&myProc

(searches for string &&myProc)

Related commands include: searchUp, searchDown, searchFromBottom
