Hi Sushant, Welcome to LyX! The best way to get acquainted with the projects you are interested in is to start perusing the lyx-devel list and searching for the recent discussions on both topics. It would also be a good idea to get acquainted with LyX itself (and, to a lesser extent, LaTeX). If you are not a user, please install it on your system and start taking a look at the tutorial. That will give you an idea of the of the missing features the projects target (especially for the Adv Find and Replace). It would also be a very good to start getting acquainted with LyX code base, and a good way to do so is to look at our bug tracker [1] and search for bugs tagged "easyfix". Cheers!
