search and replace (including deleting) for index marks


Recommended Posts

It would be useful to be able to search for index marks so you can search for particular indexed terms and replace them with an unindexed term (identical or not). Currently, you can't add the indexing mark to a search or a replace entry.  Would this be possible?

Being able to search for the indexing marks would also make it possible to remove all indexing marks from a document, if you wanted to make major changes and start again.

It would also enable you to search for particular entries in the text and add an indexing mark where appropriate.

I'm aware you can search for index related character formatting, but this again doesn't make it possible to remove the indexing marks in an automated fashion. Workaround is to search for a particular index term and look for entries which are listed with a downwards pointing arrow before said term, click to locate in text and then manually delete the index mark. Rather laborious in longer documents, and also easy to miss entries or make mistakes in the process.
