Starting a search
Text strings can be searched for in the Workbench as follows:

The combo box for the Containing text field also displays a list of
recently performed searches to select from.

- The Case sensitive check box can be selected or deselected depending

"it".

name patterns field. Click Browse... to open the Select Types dialog.
