In #2, you most likely meant to say: "I can NOT search..."

Applying the condition to the text in the table row, in addition to marking 
the row as conditional, is a workaround for another problem: hypertext 
markers and cross-references in hidden conditional table rows are carried 
over to PDF as active links. [applies to FM5.x, 6.x, 7.x and... 8.0]

[ I reported this a few times over the years, and reported it yet again to 
Dave Valiulis last week ]
