[OS X TeX] Boldface

[Alain Schremmer]

It can matter—a bit: Say you were writing about three "occurrences" of 
something and that you wanted to index "occurence".
But this is really a shortcoming of NewTerm.
I think that there are a couple of occurences of this in my book but I 
will change the wording around it as I come across them (in one of my 
many rereads).

What I am curious about is what the difference is between (.+?) and 
[^}]* (I assume that this is to allow the reference \1.)

find
\\textbf{(.+?)}\\index{\1}
replace with
\\NewTerm{\1}"
and

find
\\textbf{[^}]*}\\index{
replace with:
\\NewTerm{
