Leigh, I believe that inactivated thesaurus xrefs can be searched under
advanced query. You need to specify the Inactive terms node for searching.
Of course, if you simply wanted to purge all inactivated thesaurus xrefs
from TMS, that can be managed through a SQL script as well - which would
save you a lot of time and effort.
