RE: search with RegExp RE: Now OT, I suppose. RE: Adobe pricing policies
Rick Quatro wrote a script for me years ago that unlocks text insets for this very purpose, and then you can use the script to lock the insets again. I am sure that he still has this solution in his arsenal of scripts. I still use it after almost 10-11 years. It works like a charm and I have never encountered any issues with it.

RE: Adobe pricing policies By included files do you mean text insets? If so .. I don't believe that a search will find anything in an inset (certainly would be nice). Once way you can do that is to create a special book that you use for authoring, which is different than the one you use to create PDFs from. Add your insets to this authoring book, then you can do a search across the book, and it'll find content in the insets.

Couldn't the text inset files be included as parts of a book (either a dummy book, or files that would be excluded from the final book)? Then such updates become searchable as part of that book.

We had well over 100 Qs between chat and the Q/A pod, so we answered as many as we can. I believe the answer is “no” due to technical limitations of insets, but I will verify that.

Re: search with RegExp RE: Now OT, I suppose. RE: Adobe pricing policies
I agree with Craig. IMHO, Microtype addons for Framemaker are great time savers (and headache relievers). They also greatly extend the application capabilities. I've been using the addons for several years already and they work like a charm.
