Hi,


Chris -

When you search for " :-" sans quotes, is that a hyphen in the search or a long dash?


actual dash since I used :---: for the special character.



If you highlight the text you want to search for and then do Edit > Find and Replace, the highlighted text should appear in the Find field, and should be found.

The Google suggestion doesn't make sense to me, and regular expressions shouldn't be involved for this.
