### Find Options

The **Find** **options** section of the **Find and Replace** dialog box allows you to specify certain search criteria as described in the following table:

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Match case | Locates text that exactly matches the combination of uppercase and lowercase letters you type in the **Find what** box. |
| Match whole word only | Locates distinct occurrences of words, not groups of characters inside words. |
| Search up | Searches for text specified in the **Find what** box from the bottom of the control upwards. |
