Description (last modified by )
Sometimes when importing longer text, there are well defined places in the text
which should have particular environment and its tedious to go through the whole
text to change it manually or to write some sed monster.
It will be blessing to have find/replace function that could find/change
environment of the paragraph where the string is located (or even to find
location based only of environment without any search string).

I believe its valid enhancement request
But extremely complicated to implement, even with Tommasso's new search dialog
implementation.
which should be confirmed.
Then mark this bug Confirmed.

Actually, with the FindAdv patch enhanced by regexp, it should be possible to do
this by:
- deselecting the "Ignore Format" checkbox
- entering a regexp inset with content ".*"
- giving to the search string paragraph a desired style
Then, you should be able to find all paragraphs with that style.

Now I have a video on YouTube showing how to do it by using the current lyx
advsearch branch (addressing #3998):

Tommaso, could you put your tip into documentation so we can close the bug?

It is already in the specific manual, namely lib/doc/AdvancedSearch.lyx, "3.1 About using regular expressions in the Find... box", numbered list, item #2 "Searching for all text with a given style".
Probably someone wanted to integrate the specific feature manual into the general LyX manual, so I guess it's just a matter of copying and pasting (plus some structure nesting).
Who is in charge of the manuals ?
