How to find a card with a certain text

Post by jpalme » Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:02 pm

Again a beginner's question: How do I find a card with a certain text. I tried the find command, and it listed a lot of cards, and when I clicked on one item in the list, funny things happended but I was not shown the card found.

You can open the Message box, type something like

Code: Select all

find "I like cheese"
and hit the return key.
