Ghex Find Ascii

I installed GHEX on Ubuntu 20.04 and I want to do a search for ascii text. However, the Find window only allows hex entry. I don't see a way of searching for ascii. I tried uninstalling GHEX and reinstalling, but no joy. This is with GHEX version 3.18.4. Any suggestions on fixing this? Thanks.
