Oh, and I never close the Saved Searches window between uses. it always stays open.
I edit stories using Sigil and I use a number of groups of searches to help fix some of the common edits that I find. I use groups that find different classes of things I search for and some of my Groups are 30 or 40 items long.
Using Groups are much more productive than individual searches because I can run through a large number of searches quickly and only stop at the ones I need to. Fix what is needed and run through the Group again until all items have been checked.
For instance I have a group that checks for abbreviations of metrics link mm, cm, etc. which I replace the abbreviation with the full spelling. Like mm to millimeters. But I stop at each instance to see if in fact that's what was meant.
Probably not exactly what Sigil was designed for but it works quite well for it.
I guess I can always go bock to 1.7.
