Global search-and-replace functions are included in the text object. GEOS provides a standard search-and-replace dialog box that can be called up by any text object. The search-and-replace mechanism can work with all text objects in the system; if two applications are both using search-and-replace at the same time, only one dialog box will appear on the screen. The search and replace controller understands which application is the current target of the search operations and interacts intelligently with the active applications.
