Quick Find and Replace in Macro Editor Window

Quick find and replace allows you to search the text in a currently active macro editor window. The selection moves from match to match, allowing you to review each match within its context.
In the currently active macro editor window, quick find and replace can search or replace through a macro forward from the insertion point. The search or replace automatically continues past the end of the macro into the unsearched portion. A message appears when the entire macro has been searched or replaced.

Note: The matches found are not listed in the Find Results window
