Hello Jenine,
Using the Find and Change commands To find a string quickly, consider using not only the target itself, but also matching the case and any spaces before or after it. Example: To find chapter headings in a book, hit Cmd-F and type in the string "Chapter ". Then navigate left to the Find and Replace options menu button, click it and ensure that the Match Case option is ticked. Once you have found the first occurrence, close the Find window with Cmd-w and modify the found string as you wish, and thereafter use Find Again (Cmd-G) to find subsequent occurrences. Note that it is currently impossible to put control characters such as New Line, Line Break and Tab into a Find/Change command.
