You can either use the Search menu in the menu bar or select the Edit > Find/Replace command. However, there is a difference. The Search menu displays the commands C/C++ , Search , File , and Text .
Selecting the Select menu opens the Search dialog box that includes two specialized tabs: File Search and C/C++ Search .
Whereas, the Find/Replace command displays the Find/Replace dialog box that lets you search for an expression in the active editor, and replace the expression with a new expression.
Thus, for a simple find and replace use Edit > Find/Replace .
