Find offline media after project loads

I opened a project that clearly had some offline media because the "find offline media" window came up before the project loaded. 
I clicked the "Offline" button on that window because I didn't have that media available at that moment. 
Now that I have the project loaded (with some offline media in it), how can I find the offline media in my project so I can make it online? 

Is there a way to do a search for media that is offline after the project loads? 

I tried closing and re-opening the project so the "find offline media" window would pop-up but it doesn't but I'm sure there's some offline media as I did not bring in the missing media into my system yet. 

Thank you,

I think it's fixed now and I believe this is what happened:
Given it was a Team Project, the path to those files were pointing to another user's system. Once I opened the project, Premiere asked me for those files with the other user's path. I'm guessing Premiere was able to find them in my system after the project loaded. 
Thank you for replying.

Thanks. The article gave me the idea to visually search for offline media using the project panel. 
I did a search for "stills" (as I know the offline files were stills) but no offline media showed up. 

I'll move the project to another system and see if Premiere asks for the files again. 

Thanks for article.
