Good to know you have recovered.
All the best with your research.

Just as a follow up to this, I backed up the Legacy file and did a
Check Repair. The report that followed this said there were duplicate
citations which it deleted.
It is comforting to know than when something weird and unexpected
happens to the file, Check Repair fixes it.

I was able to restore an earlier version of the file from my Crashplan
backup for the day before I used the Search and Replace. Curiously, it
showed no instances of the characters I was trying to replace. I then
went back to a version two days before and 3 days before and same
thing. I know I didn't click on Replace All. I didn't even get to the
screen which shows the first one to be replaced. I still don't know
which 183 instances of the characters it thought it replaced.
I will save the current file and do a Check and Repair.

Sorry Jennifer,
Only you can decide whether it's worth reverting to the most recent
backup you do have.
Search and Replace is really powerful. I rarely use "Replace all"
button until I'm absolutely convinced it isn't finding anything I
didn't intend.
I'm not sure that changing the citation text via search and replace
updates the modified date. Some things don't.

Thanks, Cathy.
My reason for asking was that I was doing a search and replace in
Citations>Text, and I was very surprised when I got a notice saying so
many items were replaced. I had no chance to see whose data was
changed. I can’t reproduce this so it was probably something I did
inadvertently. I hadn’t done a backup before I started unfortunately.

Yes and No
It depends what you are asking.
If you want people modified on a certain date who haven't been
modified since - yes.
If you want the particular data that was modified for a particular
person on a particular date - no.
For the former - Detailed Search
Individual - Modified Date - equal to -<the date you want>

Is it possible to search for an individual’s data modified on a
certain date?
