Hi,
I'm a long-time LyX user (and huge fan), and I often work with very
large files with lots of mathematical expressions. It would be hugely
useful if LyX had a search-and-replace feature that looked not just
through text, but also through mathematical expressions. (Or, at the
very least, if the "View Source" feature had its own internal
search-and-replace.) I can't tell you how many times I've realized
that I've needed to change a symbol or subscript in a thousand places,
and had to turn to an external text editor to do it; the problem with
using an external text-editor is that sometimes the changes I need to
make are complicated (sometimes, for example, I need to change a
symbol in 90 places out of 100), and being able to see the document in
full real-time WYSIWYG would be tremendously helpful.
Does the new extended search and replace feature do this?
