The Find command does work in a document, but not in a list of folders/files in 
a folder or the User Guide accessed with ENTER with BACKSPACE with H or SPACE 
with o, then U (on the QT, FUNCTION with O, then u, or READ with HELP, or 
FUNCTION with U).  If one wanted to search in the User Guide, the only present 
solution would be to open the individual chapters and look for the search 
string (or one could do something like make a separate copy of their User Guide 
with all the files merged together using the Block Commands>Insert File option, 
or one could download the manual as one file from the PDI website, and then 
they would have an entire manual they could search in one file).  Tedious, but 
that's all I can suggest at the moment, as, as you and others know, you cannot 
do a direct Find when accessing the manual through the Options Menu.  In 
addition to documents, it will work on Web pages, the Web history of KeyWeb, 
e-mails, in the Book Reader, and in the Planner.  You can search forward or 
backward, there is a keystroke to find the next occurrence, and you can also do 
a Find and Replace.  However, there is no global Find feature, meaning you 
search outside a document/Web page/e-mail/Planner page, and your results come 
from a search of all materials on the unit.  This would be a useful feature to 
have especially when one has many files and must get to one quickly, but 
doesn't have the time to browse their various folders and open various files.  
Never having used the BrailleLite, I don't know what that unit's Find feature 
is like, but that's how it is on the PDI products at the moment.
