How to search for Section:Paragraph citations?

[Howard Roark]

Entering a search term in the RONR 12th ed. format (i.e. 47:48 or whatever) always returns zero results.  This is true regardless of whether the term in encased in quotes.  Whenever searching for discussion on a particular paragraph, this feature would be extremely useful, and would be helpful to avoid posting redundant material.  (This very question is a good example: I cannot imagine that this question has not already been asked!)

Is there any formatting trick that would allow searching in this way?

If you're talking about the Kindle edition, use a space instead of a colon.

Actually, I'm referring to searching this forum, on a PC, using a web browser.  By the way, I did try using a space rather than a colon here and that did not work either.  I'm wondering if perhaps there is another wildcard character that would work.

That's an excellent question.   I know the space works in the RONR kindle edition, but honestly I've never tried to search in the forum for a particular §:¶ citation.  I can confirm it doesn't work.
