When I paste this into Notepad on Windows 10:



"first_name"=>"M", "surname"=>"C", "country"=>"Australia"


and then try to "Find" (CTRL-F) the string "name", it comes up blank:

Is Notepad's "Find" function completely useless or am I missing something?

The Find function starts where you placed your cursor. Since you pasted into Notepad, the cursor is likely at the end of the document.



You can either



  1. move the cursor to the beginning of the document

  2. switch the Find direction from Down to Up

    Notepad's "find" feature searches either forward or backwards using the cursor's current position as a reference point.



    You can see the radio buttons "Up" and "Down" for search direction. "Down" searches for the next match after the cursor, and "Up" searches for the previous match before the cursor. As you search, it moves the cursor around so that it doesn't find the same text over and over again.



    The search doesn't wrap around when you hit the end of a document (unlike many other text editing programs).



    You can either move the cursor to the beginning of the document, or you can change the radio button to "Up" to search in reverse.

                      One-line joke

                      A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
