How to use Text Search to find key information instantly?

Background:

In architecture and design, CAD software is indispensable for professionals. As projects grow in scale, CAD drawings become increasingly complex, making the ability to quickly and accurately locate specific text critical. An efficient text search function enhances productivity by enabling users to swiftly find key details such as dimensions, design elements, material specifications, or construction notes ensuring smoother project execution.

For example, in large-scale projects like commercial complexes, where hundreds of drawings cover architecture, structure, plumbing, and electrical systems, the ability to rapidly locate specific information such as room names or component numbers prevents communication bottlenecks and delays, keeping the project on track.
