Surprisingly I even have this same problem with \boldsymbol{T} . Fwd: I hope you can teach the advance find and replace to work better with Blackboard Bold letters (\mathbb). Thanks in advance.

Hullo again dear LyX people.
It seems that the problem that I reported in my previous message today (see
below) also occurs
if I replace every \mathbb{T} by \boldsymbol{T}.
According to you subsection
6.13.2.3 Style-aware search
advanced search and replace, when i invoke the option "Ignore non-output
content"
your search and replace should be able to distinguish between plain T
and \boldsymbol{T}.
But it cannot.
So, if I am not doing something stupid, it seems that what you write here
is not correct.
" ..... an emphasized or boldface word and searching for it would find the
respective
instances with the same face only, and within the same text style only. "

Again, best wishes and many thanks for wonderful LyX.

Dear LyX people:
I use LyX 2,5,1 very gratefully.
I am looking at your "The LyX Users Guide - attachment-0001.pdf.
In subsection
6.13.2.3 Style-aware search
you write
..... an emphasized or boldface word and searching for it would find the
respective
instances with the same face only, and within the same text style only.


I would like to point out that if I enter this mode and, for example,
search for upper case "T"
in mathematics parts of the document, your program is unable to distinguish
between T (plain T without any emphasis or boldface) and Blackboard Bold T
(which in LateX
is produced by typing \mathbb {T}.
I hope you can teach your program to also be able to do this.

Best Wishes, and Many Thanks to all of you who created and refined
wonderful LyX.

Michael Cwikel
