Using the Find command in Word 2019

The Find command can search for a single character, a word, or a group of words. To make searching faster, you can search either an entire document or just a specific part of a document. To make searching a document more flexible, Word lets you search also for headings or pages.

Click the Home tab.
Click the Find icon in the Editing group.
The Navigation pane appears on the left side of the screen.
If you click the downward-pointing arrow to the right of the Find icon, a menu appears that lets you choose the Find or Go To command.
Click in the Navigation text box, type a word or phrase to find, and press Enter.
The Navigation pane lists all matching text.
As you type, Word displays all matching text. So if you start typing hel, Word will find all text that matches hel, such as hello, helicopter, or help.
Click any of the text displayed in the Navigation pane.
Word highlights your chosen text in your document.
To close the Navigation pane, click the X icon in the upper-right corner of the pane.

How to customize text searching in Word 2019

If you just want to find a word or phrase, the ordinary Find command works. However, if Word finds too much irrelevant text, you may want to take time to customize how Word searches for text. Follow these steps:

Click the Home tab.
Click the Find icon in the Editing group.
The Navigation pane appears on the left side of the screen.
In the Navigation pane’s Search Document text box, click the magnifying glass icon.
A pull-down menu appears.
Click Options.
A Find Options dialog box appears.
Select one or more options in the Find Options dialog box:
- Match Case: Finds text that exactly matches the uppercase and lowercase letters you type.
- Find Whole Words Only: Finds text that is not part of another word. Searching for on will not find words such as onion.
- Use Wildcards: Lets you use the single character (?) and multiple character (*) wildcards, such as searching for d?g, which will find dog or dig; or b*t, which will find but, butt, or boost.
- Sounds Like: Searches for words based on their phonetic pronunciation, such as finding elephant when searching for elefant.
- Find All Word Forms: Finds all variations of a word, such as finding run, ran, and running.
- Highlight All: Highlights all matches in the document. This option works with Incremental find.
- Incremental Find: Constantly highlights words as you type. If you turn off this option, Word will highlight words in a document only after you finish typing and press Enter.
- Match Prefix: Searches for the prefix of words, such as finding interact by searching for inter.
- Match Suffix: Searches for the suffix of words, such as finding runner or keeper just by searching for er.
- Ignore Punctuation Characters: Ignores punctuation characters in text, such as finding the phrase Hello, there when you searched for Hello there.
- Ignore white-space characters: Ignores spaces when searching, such as finding the phrase BotheCat when you searched for Bo the Cat.
Click OK to make the Find Options dialog box disappear.
The next time you search for text, Word will use the last options you chose.
