Publicon's special character names can be copied and pasted into the Find dialog box for searching and replacing:
1. Select a special character in your document that you want to find in another location, such as

2. In the Edit menu, choose Copy As 
Plain Text.
3. Choose the Edit Find... and paste into the "Search for:" field ("Find:" on Macintosh), then click "Next".
Special characters can also be searched using their Unicode values. In the case of , use \:03b1, which is the same as searching on \[Alpha].
Mathematical expressions composed of multiple characters can also be searched this way, by copying Publicon's underlying "linear syntax" for an expression:
1. Select a mathematical expression in your document that you want to find in another location, such as 
.
2. In the Edit menu, choose Copy As Plain Text.
3. Choose the Edit Find... and paste into the "Search for:" field ("Find:" on Macintosh), then click "Next".
