# Searching for Text (Within Current View)

CPRS can search for the exact text that users enter, search the notes listed in the current view, and filter the treeview to display only those notes that contain the exact text entered. Users should be careful to enter text that will give them the desired notes. If users know the exact text, this is simple. If they do not know the exact text, they will need to enter something broad enough to bring up the desired notes.

For example, if the user knows that the exact text "strangulated hernia" without the quotes, but with the space, is in the note, the user can enter that exact phrase without the quotes and the appropriate note should be found. However, if the user is uncertain of the exact text, the user might want to search for "hernia" or even "hern" to ensure that the appropriate notes will be found. This search would find words such as hernia, herniated, etc.

To search for specific text in the current view, use these steps:

1. On the notes tab, select View | Search for Text (Within Current View) .

2. In the List Signed Notes by Author dialog, enter the text for which CPRS should search.

3. Press OK .

CPRS will then search the current view of notes and filter the treeview so that only those notes with the exact text are displayed.
