Cathy I was able to restore an earlier version of the file from my Crashplan backup for the day before I used the Search and Replace. Curiously, it showed no instances of the characters I was trying to replace. I then went back to a version two days before and 3 days before and same thing. I know I didn't click on Replace All. I didn't even get to the screen which shows the first one to be replaced. I still don't know which 183 instances of the characters it thought it replaced.
I will save the current file and do a Check and Repair.

Search and Replace is really powerful. I rarely use "Replace all" button until I'm absolutely convinced it isn't finding anything I didn't intend. I'm not sure that changing the citation text via search and replace updates the modified date. Some things don't.
