I am brand new to Scrivener and wondering if it is possible to get searches to return a list of ALL terms found with a count, similar to Google an links to each hit. Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac also does this if you hit Cmd-Shift-H. Basically it would look like this:
[i]Search Results for: “Overused Phrase”
Matches: 1 of 987
Lorem ipsum Overused Phrase blah blah blah
context context Overused Phrase more context
etc.[/i]
So basically, a line for each result with the word highlighted as used in the sentence, ordered by it’s appearance in the manuscript. I find this feature really helpful in Word to see how many times I’ve used a term and to help keep my word choice more varied. I also find it much easier to see the context of the phrase and where it occurs in the document. I can just click on an item in the search result and it takes me directly there so I don’t have to hit next, next, next, next…
Perhaps Scrivener cannot do this, but if so (or even if can part way do this), please let me know.
