So maybe I'm retarded, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do a simple, basic search of the text that is in the editor window I"m working with.

CTRL+H Search wants to seach inside of all files, there are all these options for searching java but i'm working with JSON and don't know which type of statement etc to select.

Why can't there be an option to just search in the current editor?? What am i missing?

As Russell says, use Ctrl+F (Command+F if you're on a Mac). Please also refrain from using profanity; it's not tolerated in these forums.

Wow, I am retarded. For some reason I thought that a find function would be in the dedicated "Search" menu rather than only accessible by keyboard shortcut.

Thanks.
