Under Edit › Find & Replace (Ctrl + f) you can search through your whole document for a particular string of text. If you happen to have mistyped a complicated name, you can use the menu to replace the wrong spelling with the correct one.
I myself often use the search tool to find markers in my text, where I’ve left off late the evening before or where bits are still missing (I like to use “###” for that purpose).
You can also use this menu to replace a style with another style (select More Options).
Using More Options you can also search for and delete specific text elements such as empty lines. You use Regular expressions to accomplish this task. So in the search field you would type the regular expression “^$” and then press Replace all.
