Have you looked into the Alternate version of Search Replace extension?
Does it work better for your needs? I was just wondering. Since
"Thomas" went and created an alternative version, it might be better
than the one that is default for LO.
Below is a quote about it from the OOo extension site [which still works
sporadically]
quote:

I have attached it to this posting for the copy that I have sent
directly to you. For the list, I include the direct link from the OOo
site. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/download/4114
It does not look like it is on the LO Extension Center, yet.

In the FIND& REPLACE box, you show 'Whole words only,' and, in More Options,
you show 'Regular Expressions.' I would like to suggest that these two
items be radio buttons, with maybe a third button, 'Off.' Default would be
'Off.' Currently (3.4.2), 'Whole words' turns off with program termination,
while 'Expressions' remains ON.
Thank you.
