Seeking info on the automatic use of Writer's character style "Internet

the quotation marks, it should be noted, because Help's Find does not
support the convention of quotation marks to indicate an exact string
search - and that is the problem: Is there a way to Find an exact string
like "Internet Link"?

Hi John,
The Find feature in the OOo Help Viewer is not the best programmed
search, to say it in a polite way. However, sometimes it CAN find what
you are searching for.
When I enter Internet Link as a search term, it finds all pages where
both words appear somewhere. One of them is titled "Editing Hyperlinks".
Find can only search for each single word, there is no way to find the
string "Internet Link" in exactly that case and order, including the
single blank space.
If you really need to do some advanced search magic (and in this case,
"advanced" is a term for almost everything), you must use a tool that
can search through all *.xhp files of your installed help file set.
The xhp files are stored in several *.jar archive files. Either your
tool can search through archive files, or you first must uncompress the
jar files to a folder of your choice.
