Should have been exactly reversed (fading memory).

Riki I think the reason is that the macro definitions are not part of any latex output. Yes, that's what I assumed. Though what's odd is that the definition IS found if it is used. What's not found is the actual usage, at least in my testing. Riki -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Since ADV-Find is using (mostly) unchanged output created for latex, the defs are neither in the search buffer, nor in searched buffer. Sure, it can be fixed, but needs more work.

search math macros
I've been using LyX for a number of years. Because I was reusing a lot of math macros, I started putting them in a separate file and loading that file at the beginning of each document with an input statement. Over time, the list has grown and I wanted to search for a macro to see how I had defined it (probably because I had since found a better way). But no configuration in Advanced Search that I have tried will allow me to search math macros. Am I missing something or is this a feature that might be added in the future? Thanks!
