RE: Searching for text that appears as a cross-reference
In FrameMaker 10 you can find text in xrefs. That is, if you have a link that contains words you put into the search they will show up in the xref. If I have a document that only contains this (and markup is just to make it easier to get the idea): BodyRelated info/Body xrefGlobal Warming/xref Now I search for Warming. The result will highlight the entire xref content, but it does find this information. Hope that helps a bit. It's a consideration that was built into the new release.
