"Search & Replace..." in the "Edit" menu does not search within a "FileSet define" action's "Include patterns" and "Exclude patterns" sections. "Search & Replace" does work, for example, in a "Create Zip File" action in its "Files" and "Excluded Files" sections.

I believe this is a bug.

This is a known issue and on the todo list to fix/improve in FB7.
