Description jweimar 2009-08-24 07:43:36 UTC 
Searching with regular expressions can be performed using the GUI in both Writer
and Impress. Using the API in impress, the search descriptor is obtained from
the first page, not from the document as in Writer:
doc.drawPages(0).createSearchDescriptor()

The problem is that in Impress, this search descriptor does not have the
property "SearchRegularExpression", even though the GUI can use regular expressions.

hi jweimar.
Have you tried to fonr properties with for example Xray tool?
See for example issue 67088.
The missing property in documention mentioned there, for example, can be found
via xray easilly.
Comment 3 cno 2010-03-09 08:18:54 UTC 
oops, sorry. 'fonr' should be 'find'
Comment 4 jweimar 2010-03-09 11:19:15 UTC 
As far as I remenber, the searchDescriptor simply ignores if  the property
"SearchRegularExpression" is set to true, and performs a simple text search.
Comment 5 jweimar 2010-03-09 12:16:28 UTC 
I checked again using XRay, and found that the search descriptor does not have
the property SearchRegularExpression.

Tested using the following BASIC macro:

Sub TestSearchDescriptor
	XRay	thisComponent.drawPages(0).createSearchDescriptor()
End Sub
