Edit - Find/Replace... should do it. Leave the replace fields blank.

Ctrl+F will get you there quickly.

palettes

In standard gui, you can open/close a palette on the left-hand side of the worksheet, which lists the variables currently loaded. Is this helpful? For this list to be accessible, you need to have executed the worksheet beforehand.

For someone who has only recently started using standard gui and so much prefers the simplicity of classic gui, I must say that this palette with the list of variables is the one feature of standard that I actually use.

I typically keep the palettes minimized, but once in a while I open them to search through the variable list, looking for those that potentially use up a lot of memory and with a right-click I "unassign" them, thus freeing up memory and delaying "lost kernel" issues for a little longer.

By the way, a very useful feature of the "variables" palette would be to have information about the memory they actually occupy. I don't know how feasible it would be to add this feature. Thus you could easily identify the memory hogs and unassign them before running a memory-intensive job (that doesn't need them, obviously).

Thanks, but it work only for text

Thanks, but it work only for text and not for variables and command (mod math) in expressions or equations

In Classic worksheet ok it work

possible in 1-D

@Kamel Boughrara It is possible in Classic GUI and in Standard GUI with 1-D input. For 2-D input the best workaround, probably, is exporting the worksheet to a text file and search there.

A very similar question was asked and answered

1-D versus 2-D

And wouldn't it be nice if you could just "toggle" by clicking on a button and all the 2D input would be converted to 1D input instantly (or within a few seconds) ?

Would that be feasible?
