Cursor Position
By default, the ‘find’ setting is set to search the document in the ‘forward’ direction. This means it will start at your current cursor position and search forward through your document.
In order for this to work well, you should place your cursor at the top of the document (SPACEBAR-‐1-‐2-‐3) before you execute the search.
