# Searching for Templates

Searches for templates used to take some time, but changes included with CPRS v.27 should improve the template search speed.

To search for a template, use the following steps:

1. Right-click in the tree view (in either the Template Editor or the Templates drawer).

2. Select the appropriate option: Find Templates, Find Personal Templates, or Find Shared Templates (depending on which tree view you are in).

A search screen will appear.

Note: You may want to narrow your search by using the Find Options feature.

3. Enter the word or words you want to find and check the appropriate boxes.

4. Select Find.

Note: If the search lasts longer a few seconds, a dialog displays letting the user know that CPRS is still looking for the template. This dialog has an animation of a flashlight and there is a Cancel button is the user wishes to cancel the search.

5. If you do not find the template you want, scan the list or click Find Next.

6. Repeat step 5 until you find the desired template.
