Searching for content in text insets

In a FrameMaker book, is there a way to search all the text insets in a book without opening each individual inset?

I'm working on a project that has more than 30 text insets. I'd like to search for certain terms without having to open each inset. I'm using FrameMaker 11.

Not really, as FM won't search the inset content directly. You could try creating an auxiliary book that contains just the inset files and use the Find function on that book. You can also add this book to your main book and mark it with Exclude so it doesn't get output, but still provides access to everything from the main book file.

Thank you for the response, Arnis. I'll try your suggestions.
