[Vivek12]

Using Find and replace (Edit > Find/Change) you can globally find and replace text, objects, fonts, glyphs, and colors. 

Find &Replace Text:- 

Search for and change specific occurrences of characters, words, groups of words, or formatted text. You can find and replace special characters such as symbols, markers, and white space characters. Use Wildcard options to broaden your search.

Find & Replace Glyph:- Search for and replace glyphs using Unicode or GID/CID values; especially useful to search for and replace glyphs in Asian languages.

Tips & Tricks to Find & Replace Text and Glyphs:- 

• Select Special characters for the search icon in the Find what section or Select characters to replace the search icon in the Change to section to use tabs, spaces, wildcards, or other special characters.
• The Find/Change dialog has Forward and Backward search direction buttons. Although the default selection is Forward, select Backward to reverse the search flow.
• If you change your mind about replacing text, select Edit > Undo Replace Text (or Undo Replace All Text).
• To find the next occurrence of a previously searched-for phrase without having to open the Find/Change dialog, select Edit > Find Next.
• Select More Options, if you can't view the Find Format and Change Format buttons.
• If you specify formatting for your search criteria, info  icon appears over the Find what or Change to fields. These icons indicate that formatting attributes have been set, and the find or change operation will be restricted accordingly.
• Select the Clear specified attributes  icon to remove all formatting attributes in Find Format Settings or Change Format Settings.
