A reference to a Bibliography entry can be created in two ways: 1. Insert 2. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography 3. Type: Bibliography 3. Tab: Type 4. Brackets [] 5. Insert 6. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography 7. Bibliography Entry 8. Select Short name from drop down menu 9. Insert When you want to find a Bibliography entry in a long document you will have to do this manually by scanning through all pages of the document. It does not appear to be possible to perform a search of the type [10]. Hence, finding entries becomes very time consuming in large documents. A slightly less consuming way to find entries is the following manner: 1. Insert 2. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography 3. Type: Bibliography 3. Tab: Type 4. Brackets [none] <<--- 5. Insert 6. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography 7. Bibliography Entry 8. Select Short name from drop down menu 9. Insert In this way you can at least perform a search on the [ bracket, but it is still very time consuming in large documents. I suggest to implement a search capability covering also Bibliographic entries. This would allow, for example, searches of type [10] and 10. An alternative would be to show the entries in Navigator to allow jumping to the reference of the Bibliography entry in the document.
Sounds reasonable, and I cannot find a duplicate.

Without automatic FIND, and in order to update the Bibliography, the user has to locate the Biblio entries by visual inspection of the document – a tedious and error-prone procedure.
Just a thought: perhaps Bibliography entries could be made to show up as a list in the Navigator, just like hyperlinks.
