Ah that makes sense. Indeed now I see that even LyX notes aren't
searched.

It feels a bit strange from a user perspective though since vanilla find
does search in deactivated branches. Also, the user does not know the
implementation (i.e., searching the LaTeX output). That said, it sounds
like it would be complicated to ask for LaTeX output from all insets.
