Pico-Thai 0 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 searching for a content in a document or pdf , should the result of the search not be highlighted ??Without , finding the searched subject can be very cumbersome Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted September 29, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted September 29, 2014 If the document content is visible in a note, then a "current context" search should highlight the content. If it's not visible, then an application which reads or edits the content should be able to find all occurrences. I don't know how far the highlighting feature can go in marking words in multi-page documents, particularly if it occurs more than once... Link to comment
rcspencer1 1 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm having a similar problem. I can search notebooks, but the results are only highlighted in some of them, and not all. Not sure why that is happening, but it is truly frustrating to have to scroll up and down to find the highlighted word/phrase you're looking for. Is it the way I'm searching that's causing this issue, or is it just the nature of the beast? Thanks for any help you can provide. Link to comment

Without , finding the searched subject can be very cumbersome The EN search will find notes with the PDFs that contain the search text. And for some PDFs the search text will be highlighted in the PDF when you change pages using the EN viewer (appears when you hover over the PDF). If not you do have to open the PDF and use the find function therein (typically Ctrl-F) to find the search text. Link to comment

What kind of content do the notes have when the results are not highlighted? Plain text, material copied from Web pages (perhaps HTML), PDFs, images? Link to comment
rcspencer1 1 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It's just plain text, most of which has been copied in to a notebook from a notepad file, a Word document, or an Outlook note. I haven't yet advanced to adding content from pdf's, html, etc :>) Thank you Link to comment

Some words like a, and, the won't be highlighted. Link to comment
rcspencer1 1 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks, csihilling. It's working sometimes for me, just like you show, but other times it finds the search but I have to scroll up/down to actually see the highlighted word....very strange. In any case, I'm sure I can live with it, but do you know how to quickly go to the next instance of the search that it finds? In other words, if in your example there was another "message" further down, how do you quickly go to that such as doing a search in a Word document? Thank you. Link to comment

To find other instances of text inside a long note I would use Ctrl-F, same as you can do in Word. Link to comment
