This option appears only if an insertion point is placed. • Selection Search only selected text. This option appears only if text is selected. Include Locked Layers Searches for text on layers that have been locked using the Layer Options dialog box. You cannot replace text on locked layers. Include Locked Stories Searches for text in stories that have been checked out in Adobe Version Cue or as part of an InCopy workflow. You cannot replace text in locked stories. Include Hidden Layers Searches for text on layers that have been hidden using the Layer Options dialog box. When text on a hidden layer is found, you can see highlighting where the text appears, but you cannot see the text. You can replace text on hidden layers. Text in a hidden condition is always omitted from searching. Include Master Pages Searches for text on master pages. Include Footnotes Searches footnote text. Case Sensitive Searches for only the word or words that exactly match the capitalization of the text in the Find What box. For example, a search for PrePress won't find Prepress, prepress, or PREPRESS. Whole Word Disregards search characters if they are part of another word. For example, if you search for any as a whole word, InDesign disregards many.
