Index "find in documents..." can't find words with a colon after them

[Alex White]

Hi, 

I'm using Publisher 1.8.3 on the Mac.

I'm currently constructing an index for a document. I've added an index entry for "Faces" and then used the right-click 'find in document...' to locate other entries I want to tag. 

However, it is not finding all the examples of that word. In particular I can see that it isn't finding examples with a colon immediately next to it. The "Find: " in the below image wasn't picked up by it, for instance. 

There is some discussion on this forum post here and Walt Ferral has found the same problem on Windows version 

Thanks
