1  SEARCH
   Searches the current buffer for the specified string and positions
   the cursor at that string.

   Format

     SEARCH   search-string

2  Qualifiers

/DIALOG

      /DIALOG
      /NODIALOG (D)

   Instructs LSE to use a dialog box to prompt the user for
   parameters and qualifier values. The command parameters are
   optional if you specify this qualifier. If you supply command
   parameters and qualifiers with the /DIALOG qualifier, these
   parameters and qualifiers are used to set the initial state of
   the dialog box.

   LSE ignores the /DIALOG qualifier if you are using a character-
   cell terminal.

/PATTERN

      /PATTERN
      /NOPATTERN (D)

   Enables or disables special interpretation of wildcard patterns
   in a search string. Use the SET SEARCH command to specify the
   style of wildcard patterns (VMS, ULTRIX or TPU).

   For details of the pattern styles use the command HELP FEATURES 
   PATTERNS.

   When you specify the /NOPATTERN qualifier (or when it is the
   default), special interpretation of wildcard patterns in the
   search string is disabled.

2  Parameter

search-string
   Specifies a quoted string indicating the string to search for.

   If the TPU pattern style is being used the search-string is a
   TPU expression which must evaluate to a TPU pattern (for 
   example: "'abc' | 'def'").

   If you are using the DECwindows interface and specify the /DIALOG
   qualifier, the search string field in the Find dialog box takes
   the default value from the the previous search string, if any.
