Thanks so much for the replies. I had updated the registry to fix this problem before but then replaced my laptop, but nice to see that these simple menu fixes are working now. Thanks again - much appreciated!1

Follow up to this - what settings do you use if, say, you want to sort by title/ascending? Thanks

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.

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

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.
