Search highlighting?

[rvdv01]

Hello everyone,

Running the latest version of this great piece of software, thanks for all the hard work that has gone into it!

Just a little question: in the manual and release notes I find screen shots and descriptions of search highlighting. If you search for a word, it should be highlighted on the search results page (at least when in 'bar display'-mode (with the thumbnail to the left and the text to the right). Also, when you open the document, the word should be highlighted there again.
At least that's what I made out from the docs.

Search works fine but I never get anything highlighted in whichever view. Am I doing something wrong or is there a little bug in v2.8.3?

Thanks for raising this, I do think theres an issue but I will confirm (and look into a fix if there really is) later.

Edit: #6728

@shamoon highlighting works again when searching from the new global search bar, but when using the normal search bar on (for example) 'title and contents', the highlighting doesn't work yet. Tested on 2.8.5

Thanks for the quick fix btw!

That's always been the case for title/content (I'll double-check that, but pretty sure)

Thanks, didn’t know that! The docs weren’t that specific about which search bar was used to get the highlighting :-)
