Hi Daniel, you may use "Count". Take care to search on all "levels" and prevent evaluation of the operator. Asssuming your expression is in: expr, e.g.: Count[expr, HoldPattern[ Plus[__] ], Infinity] hope this helps, Daniel Daniel wrote: > Is there a way to search for an operator in a symbolic expression? My wish is to show that there is only "+" in a very large expression. Rather than showing an expression on multiple pages I would like to perform a search that shows there is only "+" between the terms. Converting to a string does not seem to work since the expression is written on multiple lines(fractions, exponents etc..) > > Thanks >
