Almost, but the current version of “search" just summarizes the matches in the Contents Panel, right? I want to see all the matches highlighted on the page (two page view would be better, full Overview even better), so that I can quickly assess where/whether there are sections of the paper that give significant attention to a particular topic. > On May 29, 2020, at 2:23 PM, Christiaan Hofman <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am not sure you understand what this was about.

Secondarily, it might be useful to selectively convert the temporary matches to permanent highlighting, but that might be hard to implement. >> Op vr 29 mei 2020 22:38 schreef Paul Tratnyek <[email protected]: >> >> Bummer.
