Hi ThomasI just tried it in the Linux version and it works fine. Had a document with ( and ) in it and it found both just on a straight find.KeithOn 18/06/11 12:07, Thomas Blasejewicz wrote:Good morning (Windox XP desktop, LO 3.3.0) just noticed: the search function DOES NOT find ordinary brackets: (, ), [, ] etc. (not regular expression etc. ...)

No problems here in 3.3.0 on Ubuntu. Maybe you can try this version?

What is so special about them, that LO does NOT find them (they are right there on the screen!). I'm not sure what you mean by (not regular expression etc. ...). If you have Regular expressions ticked in the Find Replace dialogue, then parentheses and (square) brackets are indeed special characters - as are braces. Recently I have started working with LO, but this kind of really stupid problems makes me wonder ... Does this really count as stupid? In case there is a solution, I would like to hear it. o If you are not using regular expressions, remove the tick from Regular expressions. o If you are using regular expressions, you need to escape each special character with a backslash. A search for \( or \) will find your parentheses. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] search does not find (
Hi :) The 3.3.0 was the first release and it might be good to try a more recent version but i would recommend the 3.3.2 or wait a week or so and then try the 3.3.3 as it was released just a couple of days ago. The 3.4.0 seems to have a lot of issues for quite a few people and the 3.4.1 is due out soon which fixes a lot of issues. The 3.3.x series is the stable branch and the 3.4.x seems to be testing newer perhaps more advanced features.
