> But if you can search within deleted text, then how about Find & Replace?
Note that "Find and Replace" is probably better thought of as "Advanced Find or
Replace". It is a mistake to think that this dialog should only be used when
replacement is intended. The "Find" searchbar is very limited subset of the
"Find or Replace" capabilities.

I can't imagine this ever being intended. However, I can easily imagine
replacing deleted text with changed-but-still-deleted text (as MS Word does).


I have a WIP patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/206676 that:
-treats partially-deleted-text as read-only
-replaces entirely-deleted-text as replaced-but-still-deletes text.
