 Visionaire offers a full-text search. Use the search bar in the project toolbar to search for any word – be it an internal object name or part of a text spoken by a character. The search results will open in a popup (see image). Clicking on one of the results will take you to the respective object within the editor workspace.
 Other useful search features are offered via context menu. You can open the context menu by right-clicking on an object anywhere within the editor (see image). Choose <span class="inlinecode">"Find References"</span> to list all references to that object within the project in the search result popup, so you get an overview of where you used that object. Choose <span class="inlinecode">"Go to Definition"</span> in the context menu to quickly jump to the area of the workspace where you added the respective object.
