Note: you can customize the special character to be something other than "^" in the [[Search:Miscellaneous|Search » Miscellaneous ]] area of Settings.

The "^s" and "^c" options are particularly useful for macros. When recording a macro, you can use "^s" or "^c" in the Find / Replace fields, and during macro playback they will be replaced with the currently selected text or the clipboard contents, respectively.
