Ok folks, question for the Devs or the super users of the application.

Is it possible to set up a custom search?

To outline...
When reading, I absolutely hate punctuation marks that are italicised
(this is a personal quirk, so no discussion or comment required please).

When editing my books, is there a way to have Sigil search for
:-
<span class="italic"> any punctuation mark </span>

My expertise level of using Sigil is such that I only ever use the 'Find' box, and I've just started reading a title that has quite a few whole chapters (letters written by a character) that are fully in italics.

It would save me an enormous amount of time if I could search in the manner I have described.

Thanks in advance.
