[oXygen-user] Behavior of Open/Find Resource Dialog

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Eliot,

The 'Open/Find Resource' dialog works on the entire project content and 
in the opened DITA maps. There's an info button (encircled i) in the 
dialog that mentions this.
Currently the dialog only allows searching either file paths or content 
or reviews (change tracking comments, annotations) at one time.

Regular expressions are not supported, but some wild cards are 
(mentioned in the first label between parenthesis). You can use ? for a 
character and * for a sequence of any number of characters.
Note that at this time, due to a mistake on our part, the file paths are 
actually file URLs, so if you want to search an exact local path you 
should prefix it with 'file:/'.

I've logged a request to investigate and implement the means to specify 
a limited scope. One of the scope options would be the currently 
selected project resources.

Regards,
Adrian
