Adding a Table tab to the Find/Change dialogue box
It will be very useful adding to the Find/Change dialog box a new tab for controlling the table and cell by the all options and settings available.

Table/cell options should be part of Find Object Format Options, just like the Text Frame options that are there now. It should have things like cell insets, row height, and text options. Please keep in mind that in many workflows, documents pass through several people and some set things up sloppily and others have to clean it up, or design parameters just get changed. Yes these things could be part of a cell style, but we are often handed documents where no table or cell styles were ever set up.
We need to be able to search for specific things like find right cell inset of 1.5mm and change it to 1mm.

There is more tables functionality features possible but for me the real need is to be able to limit the text/grep/glyph F/C to inside tables only. This need to be possible inside these text/grep/glyph mode not in a new tab. But a new table tab with specific f/c table/cell attributes would be amazing too.
So this is more two requests.
- a need to limits to tables only in text/grep/glyph search
- a need to a table/cell specific f/c attributs -
I don’t think we need a 6th tab category, but just an added entry for Tables/Cells in the Search choices or even better icons to limit the search to Table or Cell only like in this image. They can be added in Text, Glyph and Color tabs.

Also the choice to f/c in for instance selection and if the selection contains tables, yes or no in selected tables

It is also very important to put independent styles on the cornices and to be able to delete the styles before applying new ones to the TOC.

More Information:
The functions that be performed by this tab:
1. Find tables(s) by the character/Paragraph Style (e. g. Find [Basic Table] then change to "TableStyle_002")
2. Find and Change settings and formats (e. g. Find every Dotted stroke and replace with Japanese Dots)
3. Remove or Reset style of every table (Change All)
4. Apply specified settings on the selected cells or table (Selection)
5. Find and Change specific text in certain cell(s) (e. g. Delete dollar sign in every green filled cell)
