you want.

specify the Find attributes.

Text search options
The options on the Text tab in the Find palette let you specify criteria for text and character searching
and replacement.
Find Type the text or select the special character that you want to find. Leave
this box blank to search for text attributes only.
Change To If you want to replace found text or characters, enter replacement text or
character (1) here. If you want to delete found text or characters, leave
the Change To box empty.
Whole Word Select Whole Word to specify that the Find text is an entire word; e.g., if
you type “time” and select Whole Word, Canvas will not find “times,”
“untimely,” or “timer.”
Match Case Select Match Case to include the capitalization of the Find text in the
search criteria; e.g., if you type “Time” and select this option, Canvas
will not find “TIME” or “time.”
Change If Canvas locates the specified text and attributes, it highlights the text
in the document. Click Change to replace the highlighted text with the
Change To text and to apply the replacement attributes specified in the
Change Attributes To section.
Change All Click to replace all occurrences of the text and attributes you specified
with the replacement text and attributes. Canvas makes the changes
without highlighting found text.
Find button Click to search for the next occurrence of text specified in the Find text
