How do you use Edit > Find?

I have set of Stacks pages. On each page, several of the individual stacks contain placeholder text (let's say its "xxx") that I want to replace with a string that is specific to that page (see fig1). I would think that Edit > Find could be used to do that. However, I see that the menu item is enabled only when I'm actually inside (i.e. have activated) the text within a stack (see fig2). That's not great, but it's better than nothing. But, even when I can bring up the Find dialog and I enter both find and replace strings, the buttons to actually do the find and/or replace are disabled (see fig3). What gives?

   Hi there

   Thanks for your message. As the Stacks plugin isn't one that we ourselves develop at Realmac, you'll need to ask YourHead Software, the developer of Stacks, about this.

   https://yourhead.tenderapp.com/

   Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

   Kind regards,

   Nik

   Here's what YourHead had to say about the issue:

   Hi Steve,
   
   I stand corrected! I've never used the find in RapidWeaver in the years I've used it! I 
   use it in Espresso all the time.
   
   They are also disabled for Sidebar content (any page type). Only Styled Text areas 
   not nested in structure like Stacks are will work. I expect the HTML page type will
   too, but I didn't check.
   
   **I'm not sure we can do much about that, we'd have to ask Realmac to re-write that
   bit of the code to play nicely with Stacks I guess. Not sure how well we'll be doing 
   on that front right now!***
   
   If it's a large bit of text/code then paste it into a Styled page and back I suppose, 
   not really slick though I grant you.
   
   With best regards,
   Karn @ Yourhead Support.
