you save appear in the Query list in the Find/Change dialog box.

3 Below the Search menu, click icons to determine whether items such as locked layers, master pages, and footnotes

are included in the search.

These items are included in the saved query. However the range of the search isn’t saved with the query.

Glyphs and special characters

Glyphs panel overview

Enter glyphs by way of the Glyphs panel. The panel initially shows glyphs in the font where the cursor is located, but
you can view a different font, view a type style in the font (for example, Light, Regular, or Bold), and make the panel
display a subset of glyphs in the font (for example, math symbols, numbers, or punctuation symbols).
