Make search and replace aware of HTML web addresses to include or exclude them
S&R knows how to limit searches to who words or by capitalization. Give it the ability to include or (more important) exclude HTML web addresses. I often have to search an entire book replacing some hyphens with N-dashes or M-dashes. Quite a few of the search results are webpage addresses whose hyphens I do NOT want to change, often hundreds of them. It's be great if searches could exclude web addresses.

Just a quick idea for a workaround: if your URLs have a character style applied to them, change their color and then search only for hyphens in black.
