To avoid finding closing double braces followed by punctuation you could search for
"\]\]([a-zA-Z0-9])"

Using Find to hit only braces followed by underlined text won't work because you can't specify which parts of the found string need the underline - its all or nothing.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for taking a look. You're the best.
