--- Comment #2 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at user-prompt.com> ---
I use the auto replacement frequently for --> which creates an arrow. I never
would expect it to be available in the search by -->. But with digraphs or
strange characters we run into trouble. Is it possible at all to find such a
text? If so we could offer a checkbox "look for replacements" or rather show
those results in a different color.

By the way: I hate the LO find and replace dialog. Not sure if its true for
Writer but in Calc I replace A by 1 and B by 2 and so on and have always to
dismiss the result dialog. And since "only selection" is hidden and unchecked
by default I regularly do the task twice.
