Find/change using queries
You can find and change text, objects, and glyphs by using or constructing a query. A query is a defined find-and-
change operation. InDesign offers several preset queries for changing punctuation formats and other useful actions,
such as changing telephone number formats. By saving a query you constructed, you can run it again and share it
with others.

After you select a search query, you can adjust the settings to fine-tune your search.
