Searching using automatic numbers

[murfitUK]

I've got a large document with all the paragraphs numbered using the
automatic bullets/numbers facility.

I would like to be able to Find (either through Edit->Find or ctrl&F) and
type in the para number either in the Find What or Goto box. Problem is, I
can't see anyway to do it.

In the Goto tab there are options to search for lines, sections, pages,
bookmarks etc but no para numbers.

Can it be done?

Thanks.

I agree that this would be desirable, though I can imagine that it might be
difficult to implement because paragraph numbering is fluid. Still, so is
page numbering.
