Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search for special characters and symbols, not just letters?

Yes! The letter position finder works with any character including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols. Just enter the character you want to find in the target field.

What's the difference between case sensitive and case insensitive search?

Case insensitive treats 'A' and 'a' as the same character, while case sensitive counts them separately. Use case sensitive when you need to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

How are character positions numbered in the results?

Positions are numbered starting from 1 (not 0) for the first character. Spaces, line breaks, and all characters count toward the position number, making it easy to locate characters in your original text.

Can I find multiple different characters at once?

Currently, the tool searches for one character at a time to keep results clear and focused. To find multiple characters, run separate searches for each character you're interested in.

Is there a limit to how much text I can search through?

The tool can handle large amounts of text efficiently. For optimal performance with very large documents, consider breaking them into smaller sections if you experience any slowdowns.
