Hi Yves,
I would suggest that you take a look at FrameSLT from West Street Consulting. It allows you to search a structured FrameMaker document using XPath. It has many other features as well, including a scripting environment for modifying elements and attributes. Also, it can be "driven" from FrameScript, ExtendScript, and the FDK so you can quickly find element/attribute combinations in your scripts. I have used it in over 300 of my scripts. I highly recommend it. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

For example, I want to find an element named "keyword" in an EDD to specify its formatting rules. So, I need to find the following: [Element][Tag] Element (Container):keyword[/Tag] I do not want to search for text: "keyword", because "keyword" is a child element of many other elements, so I would find the text "keyword" in the [GeneralRule] element of many other elements. I can search for an element tag: "Tag", but I cannot search for an element tag: "Tag" which has the text "keyword". So, what do you do to find this element quickly?
