The Text Search function allows you to search messages (in a file) for a
string of characters to facilitate editing.

Select Text Search from the Messages menu. Highlight Text Search
and press [Enter] or just press [T].

A message will display if the file doesn’t contain any messages. Otherwise,
a window opens and prompts you to enter a text search string.

The search string can contain up to 16 characters including letters, numbers,
spaces, and other display characters supported by the Keypad Module.

Enter a text string, then press [Enter].
