[Framers] Searching for content in FrameMaker files

I suppose one might be searching on a phrase so breaks between words with intervening mif tags, etc would pose a problem. Sentences are often split in Mifs.
Where also had problems where inserted $Header$ variables from RCS were mucked with by Mif. (It split the variable result because of length, I believe.)
And your 'unless' is pretty crucial, too, Robert.

I haven't seen that. Unless there's a tag or marker or something in
the middle of a word it's always intact in an .fm file or exported
.mif.
