Re: LyX -- search & replace in math
$p$... either Ctrl+m (in-line) or Ctrl+shift+m (displayed)... then p, then
Space to get out of math mode.
$\cal{M}$... same as above to enter math mode... then \cal + Space to get into
the {} bracket... then M, then Space to get out of the {} bracket, followed by
Space to get out of math mode.

How did you entered $p$?

It means all format info, like

Yes, we know there are deficiencies :(
There is work in progress for 2.4.0 version.

RE: LyX -- search & replace in math
* Since they _are_ different, depending of the 'Ignore format', why would
one expect to behave the same? That does of course not mean, that there are no
errors in the code.
That is reasonable.
* If you check "Ignore format", the searching is done on text which would
be exported as normal text. The other case is searching on text which would be
suitable as input for latex.
This explanation is not very clear. In a text document, I checked “Ignore
format”, and when searching, LyX found none of the expressions I searched for
[replace $p$ by $\mathfrak{p}$]. When I unchecked “Ignore format”, LyX worked
as expected.
[Still, it is not clear what is meant by “format”.]
Next, I tested this on a much longer document (close to 700 pages). With
unchecking “Ignore format” and searching for $\cal{M}$, LyX skipped this LaTeX
code in a table at the beginning of the document (a “nomenclature” table), but
found this code in a paragraph in the middle of the document – and also found
several subsequent occurrences.
Finally, I searched for the same LaTeX string [$\cal{M}$], but this time with
*checked* “Ignore format”. Contrary to in the test document (searching for
$p$), this time, LyX found at least one occurrence – but not the first one
found with unchecked “Ignore format”.
--
To summarize:
* Searching for $\cal{M}$ in *math*, and with unchecked “Ignore format” did
not find occurrences in table cells, but hopefully found occurrences in text
flows.
* With checked “Ignore format”, LyX sometimes found LaTeX math code, and
sometimes not.

Since they _are_ different, depending of the 'Ignore format', why would one
expect
to behave the same?
That does of course not mean, that there are no errors in the code.
If you check "Ignore format", the searching is done on text which would be
exported as
normal text.
The other case is searching on text which would be suitable as input for latex.

...doesn't work perfectly, though...
If I have text with $p$ and $\mathfrak{p}$, then if I try to replace
$\mathfrak{p}$ with $p$, everything is ok.
HOWEVER, if I try to replace $p$ with $\mathfrak{p}$, then the latter becomes
$\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$...
In an ideal system, I guess $\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$ should be simplified to
$\mathfrak{p}$, etc. for similar cases.

Hi Scott,
I have tested possibilities. What I need to do, works if I *check*:
* Case sensitive (standard menu)

Hi Bernt,
Go to Edit > Find & Replace (Advanced), and under the Settings tab of the panel
that pops up, see the options "Ignore format" (I guess you want unchecked), or
