Dave,

  Unless I misunderstand you, the term you seek is "find and replace".

  Mosey over to the "Edit" menu and you'll find it there. If you want to be
super cool, just press ctrl-f to open the dialog box. After entering the
terms you want to change (e.g., "card" to "board") click the widget that is
labeled "Replace all".

  You might want to look at all the menus, the tutorial and the user guide
to more quickly become familiar with LyX features and capabilities.
