Creating Search Favorites

UEx includes a Search and Replace favorites feature that allows you to store frequently used find/replace strings. The "Edit Find/Replace Favorites" dialog gives you a convenient method of managing find/replace favorites.

The search "Favorites" are accessible by clicking on the star button in the find dialog.

To add a favorite, simply click on the Add to Favorites option. This will add the text to the Favorite list.

The default behavior of the favorites list is to display the literal text from the search string. To make the "Favorite" more user-friendly, you can give it a custom name.

Click on the Favorites button and select Edit Favorites, you will then see the Edit Find/Replace Favorites dialog.

Here you can change the order of the Favorites, give them a "title", as well as change the search/replace string.

To change the title, contents, and position, simply select the Favorite in the "Favorite" box at the top and perform the desired action.

Now that you've added a Favorite, and named it, you can use it by selecting the Favorites button on the Find/Replace dialog, selecting the Favorites submenu, and choosing your named favorite from the list.

The Find/Replace field will then be populated with the search string.
