Searching for text that appears as a cross-reference

In FrameMaker 10 you can find text in xrefs. That is, if you have a link that contains words you put into the search they will show
up in the xref.
If I have a document that only contains this (and markup is just to make it easier to get the idea):
<Body>Related info</Body>
<xref>Global Warming</xref>
Now I search for Warming. The result will highlight the entire xref content, but it does find this information.
Hope that helps a bit. It's a consideration that was built into the new release.

Subject: FM: Searching for text that appears as a cross-reference
Hi folks,
As far as I know, Framemaker does not provide a 'conventional' functionality for
searching for text enclosed in cross-references. Is there a workaround for this
limitation? Of course, it is possible to create a PDF file and search for the
relevant text strings there, but there must be another way to overcome this
problem, without using alternative file formats. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
Roman
