searching a document for citations

2008-08-28 Thread John Niekrasz 
I would like to use the Find and Replace feature to search my
document for particular citations. Entering the author name or even
the bibtex key does not find the citation within the document. At the
moment I am generating a PDF of my document and then searching the PDF
for the author name (I use author-year citations), but this is a
hassle. Am I missing something? Or should this be a feature request?

Thanks for the help,
John

1.6 can list by citations in the sidebar. Unfortunately, it only lists 
the key and isn't searchable. 1.6 also allows you to specify that 
hyperlinked back-refs be created in the bibliography section of a PDF.

No, there's no way to search for citations in 1.5.x. As Mike said, there 
will be a way to list citations in 1.6.


I think there's already a bugzilla request for this sort of thing. It's 
something a lot of people would like, but it isn't trivial to implement. 
Not at all.
