Prompts the user to enter a search string, then finds and selects all elements across the entire active document whose names contain that string. The count and names of all found elements are shown in a result dialog.

1. Open any CATIA document
2. Run the script
3. A dialog appears — enter the search string and click OK
4. All matching elements are selected in the document and a result dialog shows the count and names found

• The search is case-insensitive and matches any element whose name contains the search string, not just exact matches
• The search covers all element types across the entire document, not just hybrid shapes
• If nothing is found the result dialog says so and the selection is cleared
• After selecting all matches the spec tree is automatically centered on the first result
