--- Comment #1 from Yousuf (Jay) Philips <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
Seems like an interesting concept so lets see what the ux-advise team thinks.

As auto-replacement does happen in a document, if a user typed the exact same
thing in the find & replace dialog as in the document, it wouldnt find a match,
but if a user highlighted what they had typed, it would find a match.

As an example, typing the following in Writer and search for it would result in
no found matches :-

"My name is Yousuf"

Doing the same in MS Word would find a match as they likely replace non-regular
expression searches with a regular expression version of the same to pickup up
auto-replacement variants.
