I *k*n*o*w* that many of us share that Framer's gene that wants never to believe that something can't be done, and that by co-mingling bits and scraps of tips and tricks, there *I*S* a way. So, here's my wild stab:
I seem to remember there's an Escape-key command sequence to repeat the previous action or find. So keep that in mind. Then, I also seem to remember learning, by examining a MIF file, that FM stores footnotes and other text that's not exactly in a named text flow, separately, at the end of the document. I suspect that there's an identifier mechanism similar to the one that manages X-refs, that handles footnotes. Perhaps there's a hidden character or code that marks footnotes, and possibly it's searchable. If so, seek and seek again. If this route comes to nothing, and it's really important to be able to do this, consider marking footnotes with a hidden searchable character-formatted character, or incorporating the format in the footnote definition.
