  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
  Needed to replace carriage returns with line breaks. Took a bit of experimenting, but this is what worked for me:
  Find = (.)\p(.)
  Replace = \1\n\2
  This preserved the double-carriage-returns that I needed.

  Hi Guys,
  This was a great add-on. I used it continuously every day in data conversion. However it had problems not replacing items in the last few weeks. Since then icon was removed from toolbar and it's gone. It fails to install now raising an error.
  
  The file is in the folder.
  
  4cc0f88b_altsearch.oxt does not exist.
  
  I would like to rate it a 5 but cannot rate it at all at present because it is not able to install.
  
  Any help will be appreciated.

  1. Is this project dead? The last version appears to be from 2017.
  2. Is this open source, and if so where is the code repository: GitLab, Github, Sourceforge, other?
  Thanks for what you've done so far.

  Wow! So intuitive! Why this is not already the default F&$ feature in LO Writer is beyond me. THIS is the way this should work in the first place!

  I loved this addon until it stopped working. Now everytime I try to use it I get this error:
  BASIC runtime error.
  An exception occurred
  Type: com.sun.star.container.NoSuchElementException

  if u find opening the extension difficult then create a custom shortcut for it. go to "Tools Menu > Customise...". then select a shortcut u want like Ctrl-Shift-H in shortcuts list at the top. then select "LibreOffice Macros > My Macros > Alt Search > Alt Search (again)" in category section below. then select "_AltSearch" in Function subcategory section next to it. now click the "Modify" button then "Ok". to open the extension dialog box, hit ur custom shortcut keys everytime*

  this extension is super duper easy and advanced, very helpful for one who dont know how to make macros for the same advanced purposes it serve.

  This extension is so good it should be part of LibreOffice.
  I use the tabbed interface. To access the extension without having to show a new, largely empty toolbar with the one AltSearch icon, I use Ctrl-Shift-H as a custom shortcut. To associate this shortcut, find the AltSearch window as follows and Ctrl-Shift-H in shortcuts list at the top at the top and Tools Menu > Customise... > Keyboard tab > Category LibreOffice Macros > My Macros > Alt Search > Alt Search (again) > _AltSearch
  Click the "Modify" button then "Ok". Then you can hide the AltSearch toolbar (View menu). Good luck.
  I am still using LibreOffice 6.2.2.2 in Windows. I notice there is an upgrade. Hope it still works in the upgrade. It works fine in the Linux version of LibreOffice.

    Upgraded to 6.4.4.2 and the extension runs fine.
