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.
Thanks, and best wishes, Jacob Barandes jacob.baran...@gmail.com
