# Search in Script Tool
> Use the find in script tool to search word gaps, filler words, and highlights across your composition or project.
Search the transcript, locate every [word gap](/script-editing/shorten-word-gaps) or [highlight](/script-editing/highlights), and identify [filler words](/script-editing/filler-words) to review and action on.
This article walks through how to use the search in script tool, apply bulk actions, and filter results to speed up your workflow.
## Access and navigate search
1. Press `Command + F` (macOS) or `Control + F` (Windows) to open the search panel. You can also use the [AI Tools panel](/descript-tour/ai-tools-overview) in the sidebar to access search.
2. Enter a search term.
3. Click a search result in the sidebar to jump to it in the script.
