I've just noticed a disturbing fault in Openoffice (on Open SUSE Linux). 
Searching in a text (with "Find") failed to turn up a word I knew was 
there. I found it later and noticed that it contains a conditional 
hyphen (optional hyphen, discretionary hyphen, soft hyphen). I made 
some other tests with the conditional hyphen (entered with 
control-hyphen), and sure enough, it ignores them. Bad Openoffice!

Is this a known fault? Is it a trivial problem to fix or a programming 
nightmare (or even impossibility)? I can't remember what other 
word-processors do, especially one widely known one, but I feel sure I 
would have encountered it, and remembered it.
