I guess that would require you to click OK on every occurrence which 
might be cumbersome. Maybe LO should offer a list of all occurrences i 
in pop-up where every occurrence would be checked and one could skim 
trough list and un-check those few you don't need. Such list should have 
some context to like page number or line number and maybe holding whole 
sentence with highlighted part in question. Don't know, just thinking on 
load.
