Use the Network Editor search tools to find a specific network object. You can find an object by name or by object number.

To search for objects by name:

1. Click the **Find by Name** icon on the toolbar or choose **Find > Find by Name** from the menu, to open the Find window.
2. Enter the following details then click **Find Next** to find and select the first matching object.

| **Field** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Find What | Enter some or all of the object name. The search tool will search for results anywhere in the object name. |
| Type | Restrict the search to specific types of object. Choose All to search for all types |
| Match whole word only | Find only names that have the search term as a whole word |

If there are more matches, you can select them one at a time by continuing to click **Find Next**. Use the **Previous** or **Next** options in the Find window to set the direction for moving through the search results with the **Find Next** button.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ These options are not the same as the **View > Previous** and **View > Next** menu and toolbar items that allow you to return to a previously view, but do not change the selected object.
