There are three ways of finding items: Find all items by name, Find all items by type and Find Low Stock items
To find all food items which match a description click the Find All by Name button, which you'll find at the top of the window in the icicles bar and a Find All Items by Name dialog box will appear.
Fill in the Food's name box with some suitable text. You can, of course, use the small down arrow on the right to select any one of the food items which you have ever typed in although if you do this you might want to make slight alterations to the text which it puts in the box before you go ahead with the search.
Check one or both of the Optionsas appropriate and then press Enter or click the Find button.
You then will see all of the food items which match your find criteria. In this case, shown below, I put cheese in the box with no options checked.

If you change your mind and decide that you don't want to search for all items by type simply press the escape key to cancel the search.
