+  <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>

+  </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>
