The  shortcut c-f  presents you  with a  search function. Just  type the
'to-be-corrected-string',  followed  by  pressing  alt-n  and  you  will
instantly be at the appropriate passage  of your text, without having to
move your cursor. You may even take  advantage of the replace feature to
expedite the process.
