Search function not showing the matched word in notes

[Kileak50 0]

The search function does show the matching notes in the results, but it does not show the section where the first matching word exists in the actual note.

When I click the result, it used to show the section of the first matching word in the note, but it is not working now and I have to search again inside the note in order to show the matching section.

I tried database optimization, re-indexing, and re-installing Evernote, but none worked.

My current Evernote version is 6.10.3.6921 (306921) Public (CE Build ce-1.39.4387).

Is this the way the search function is supposed to work in the latest versions?

I observe the same behaviour for the Evernote client on macOS Version 10.12.3(16F73) . It does not match any of the key word for a multi word search, let alone for a single word search.

Hi.  I just updated to 6.11.2 as below - searching for a word gets me a highlight,  and as far as I remember that worked fine in the previous version too.  Remember you can jump to a word in a note by Ctrl+F searching.

(If you're searching a note where a PDF or a picture was OCR'd by Evernote,  highlights are more hit or miss - they can be in the wrong place or on apparently irrelevant words.)

I've had issues with the search results within a note. I am not on the latest version so not sure if it got any better. But I would search for something, it would locate the note but within the note it would not highlight the words I searched for. I would have to do another search within the note.

Sometimes it did it however, so it's been a hit & miss for me as well.

Thank you for all the info.

I guess they changed the search function behavior intentionally/unintentionally a couple of versions ago
