How to Use the Search Feature in Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal offers a convenient search feature that enables you to quickly find specific keywords within your terminal sessions. This feature is particularly useful when searching for commands, file names, or other text you've previously entered into the terminal.

To access the search feature, focus on a pane by clicking on it. Once focused, you can open the search dialog by typing `ctrl+shift+f`. The search dialog will appear in the upper-right corner of the pane.

When using the search feature, any keyword you enter will only show results found within that pane. You can toggle case matching by selecting the 'Case Match' button. This ensures that the results match the exact letter casing of the keyword entered.

To further refine your search results, you can add case matching as an option in your search settings. Additionally, you can change the search direction by selecting one of the arrows in the search dialog. The terminal will default to searching from the bottom to the top of the text buffer.

Once opened, simply type the keyword you're looking for into the text box and hit enter to initiate the search. This feature is particularly useful when trying to find a command you had run before or for a specific file name.

Overall, the search feature in Windows Terminal provides a convenient way to quickly locate specific keywords within your terminal sessions, saving you time and increasing productivity.
