find text "around" elements?

My authors want to be able to find the string "apples and oranges" even if oranges is bold:

...apples and <bold>oranges</bold>...



I must be missing this in the help on find or if not someone must have put something together to find text "around" elements. I've figured out how to use the find command with regular expressions to find words separated by a normal or hard space, but I can't quite figure out how to ignore element's open tag. Has anyone done that?

That
works in the 5.3 M010 release right out of the box.Some time in the
5.2 release stream -- I don't know when --we changed the Find function so
that it ignores tags.

Great news, PG. That may hold them. The authors requesting this are in 5.1h for what it's worth.
