torche

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks Oracle
Hello all!

I´m stumped on this one. Can anyone help?

Here´s the context:

Pour accéder aux données relatives à l’article que vous souhaitez modifier, vous devez rechercher l’article sur l’écran principal en utilisant soit la*** torche***, soit la touche « F11 ».

and

A tout moment, ****la torche**** ou la fonction « F11 » / « Ctrl + F11 » peut être utilisée pour rechercher un article.

I know that torche means flashlight or torch, but it sure wouldn´t make sense here.

Thanks in advance!!

* UK English please. Thanks!

the torch (icon / button)

In several software packages the search function starts a torch icon while the search is taking place, a bit like the hourglass.
In the following example, the' find' button also has a torch icon, and is started with F11 too.

"Performing a find in Themis
The Find function is useful when you are searching for something specific (e.g.: a reference number or a supplier name) within the Themis database. When performing a find you use the Find screen to enter the search criteria.
1 Click on the Torch icon in the Tool bar to enter the Find screen.
2 Specify your search criteria using the List of Values where available to refine your search.
Note: in the find mode, search criteria are NOT case sensitive.
3 Click the Find button on the form or press the Enter key.
