Jim,

I think it can be done, but it is not a standard thing 
already supported that just needs to be switched on.
It'll have to be programmed. JTextArea supports
catching keystrokes and selecting text, so there is
a basis to build finding on top of.

The current ReportWindow, built on JTextArea, was
a contribution from Jonathan Ferro exactly one year ago
(previously it was a JLabel).
I don't know if he or someone else would be interested
to work on a Find feature?

About specifications: assuming that ctrl-F starts Find,
what would be suitable keystrokes for Find Next and Find Previous?

Erik.
