[Avid-L2] Time to fix the "Find" function!

 

I'm I just cursed, or is anyone else finding that sometime the Find window simply refuses to search on certain terms when searching scripts? This one is "20's" as in "I was in my 20's when it happened." I've tried deselecting "whole words only" but no dice. I can search on "20," but that brings up every TC number in the script that contains that term. I have the raw transcript, and I can search on "20's" just fine in the context of MS Word - is it possible Word does something better than Avid?

I understand the search capabilities in version 6 products are much more robust than in previous products; I just sometimes wish the search window were less of a diva. I've had weird problems with timeline text searches as well, and I'm starting to lose confidence that a negative search result really means anything.

Thanks! Rant over.

Shirley
