Search & Return plugin - error?

Good afternoon,

Some time ago I invented a new fact called 'Byname' to contain family nicknames and the like. One of the many families I'm tracking used the byname 'Cocair'. I think I have the same 1700s ancestor as the progenitor of a number of lines, and would obviously like to merge these lines. To that end I used the Search & Return plugin to find all the instances of Cocair, hopefully including this 'Byname' fact.

It fails to find it:

Can anyone tell me what I've missed?

Many thanks!

It looks like a bug in that plugin that does not find the values of custom attributes.

I suggest you use the Search and Replace plugin instead which has a 'Search Only' mode.
