==========================

QElectroTech provides the feature of automatic searching of `folios`_ with an specific property for 
replacing `folio properties`_ without the need of opening the folio properties PopUp window. 

.. note::

   If the `search menu`_ is not displayed, it can be displayed from **Edit > Search / Replace** menu 
   item.

To replace some `folio properties`_:

    |go-bottom| can be used to display the previous and next `folio`_ from the search result.
