I received an 8-page schematic from someone else, and I'm trying to make sense of it all. So I see a net coming out of a chip, and want to know where it goes. I tried the Tools->Search command. It doesn't seem to have a way to search for a net, but you can search for a pin.
So I tried that, and it always comes back with "1 pins(s) pin_name found!" followed by the sheet number and coordinates of its first occurrence.
But what I want is a global search, so I can find all the sheets where the net is going to in the schematic. There doesn't seem to be an option for this in the Search dialog, and I couldn't find anything under Help. A search on Google only pulled up global searches just for libraries.
I am using the latest version, CadSoft Eagle Professional 7.5.

On second look, I've just accidentally discovered how to do it (or at least in Eagle 6.5, you'll have to test and see if it works in 7.5).
The
findULP (which is what the search menu item runs) will find the net with that name, and then just shows whatever is the first wire it finds on a net.In you instead use the
showcommand with the name of what you want to find, followed or preceeded by something else entirely different, it does exactly what you want.Running the command
show find searchterm, orshow + searchtermor whatever brings up a window which allows you to click between all occurrences of a specific net, gate, or pin (possibly other things):
