By backwards search I presume you mean what I call an inverse search, which is supported in LyX although it is not configured by default. I've managed to get it to work in 9.04 here. The best documentation appears to be a mailing list post: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg150367.html AFAICT lyx does not support clicking in the LyX document to jump to the equivalent in the DVI viewer, which I think is what you call forwards search. LyX, Okular and everything else under the sun supports searching forwards and backwards through text, which is also commonly called "forward search" and "backwards search", and that what I first thought you meant. >> AFAICT Amarok didn't just have a couple of annoying bugs, it was never >> really ready for widespread use.
