+ <title>Search for text</title>
+
+ <p>You can search for text in <app>Terminal</app> output. Go to <guiseq><gui
+ style="menu">Search</gui><gui style="menuitem">Find</gui></guiseq>. In <gui
+ style="textbox">Search for:</gui>, type in the search keyword and press <gui
+ style="button">Find</gui>. To return, press <gui
+ style="button">Close</gui>.</p>
+
+ <p>You can search using the following options to narrow your results
+ accordingly.</p>
+
+ <terms>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui style="checkbox">Match case</gui></title>
+ <p>Select this option to restrict results to only those that match the
+ case of your given keyword, that is, your search is set to be case
+ sensitive.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui style="checkbox">Match entire word only</gui></title>
+ <p><app>Terminal</app> will look for the entire search keyword and will
+ ignore results that partially match your given search. For example, you
+ may have searched for "rhythmbox", <app>Terminal</app> will show only
+ results that match this keyword exactly and omit results such as
+ "rhythmbox-client".</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui style="checkbox">Match as regular expression</gui></title>
+ <p><!--TODO: write the behvaiour --></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui style="checkbox">Search backwards</gui></title>
+ <p>If this option is selected, <app>Terminal</app> searches for the keyword from the latest
+ <app>Terminal</app> output and upwards. This option is advised when you
+ are looking for the keyword that could have occured recently.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui style="checkbox">Wrap around</gui></title>
+ <p><!--TODO: Explain this option --></p>
+ </item>
+ </terms>
+
+ <note style="tip"><p>If you expect to work with a lot of <app>Terminal</app>
+ output, you should set <gui>scrollback lines</gui> to unlimited to allow
+ <app>Terminal</app> to search more efficiently.</p></note>
