About HTML source code searches

Use the Source Code option in the Find or Replace dialog box to search for specific text strings in the HTML source code. For example, a search for black dog in the following code would produce two matches (in the alt attribute and in the first sentence):

<img src="barnaby.gif" width="100" height="100"
alt="Barnaby, a black dog."><br>
We saw several black dogs in the park yesterday. The black 
<a href="barnaby.html">dog</a> we liked best was called Barnaby.

The phrase black dog also appears in the second sentence, but it does not match because it is interrupted by a link.

See Searching and replacing text, tags, and attributes for step-by-step instructions on initiating a search.
