Try the following:
Add a new generated file to your book, a List of Paragraphs (LOP).
Include the paragraph tag(s) you need to search text in.
Generate the LOP file with Hypertext Links, and make sure its
LOP Reference Page includes "<$paratext>" for all the *LOP
paragraph tags on that page. (Re-generate if you make a change.)
Then open the LOP file and search for the text in that file.
When you find a paragraph you need to edit, hyper-click the
paragraph to go to the "real" paragraph in your documents.
