iirc there is something more than a mockup for a new search and replace functionalities...
the gsoc project failed, but i think that there is an interest such a function.

i think it's worth to submit it as a feature requst to http://bugs.scribus.net

this feature is imho no important enough that it's worth to hack into the qt-standard "save as" dialog to implement it.

i will try to find out if the dialog already offer this option: if not i think you can safely post a feature request to QT itself for it!



have a nice weekend!
