... Finally, after all this time, it is at last here, in full version (not beta), in Logos 6.5: FULL results of user documents searches. Some features, tags, clippings and document searches have been resurrected:

It was indeed a painful road to get here, but HURRAY! I am so glad it's here!

    It's a good start Francis! Yet the implementation is NOT complete - it will not take you to the search result in the source document, like searches of Logos resources, which becomes very problematic if you have a long document (like a Note) - you have to scroll to find the result (and it can of course sometimes be hard to find).

    Hopefully this last piece is coming soon!!!

    It is still a HUGE improvement and for the time being, the fact that the terms are not highlighted within individual notes can be compensated with CTL-F. Hopefully, someone read your comment and take it into consideration (if it is feasible).

    Does this work well for you in Notes? Here is what happens to me, it does not help at all (Verbum 6.5, Windows 7):

    1. Do a search that highlights a result in a Note.

    2. Click on the search result, the Note opens up and opens up the note the result is in. Cursor is at the first character of the note.

    3. Hit Ctrl-F, the inline search box comes up. 

    4. Start typing in the inline search box, slowly so you can see what happens. I was typing for example 'para' (without quotes), as the Greek word para was in my search result. I type p, and as soon as I type p the focus is lost, the cursor is gone, and the Note panel has reset to a list of all the notes in that Note document. 

    5. If I then click in the inline search pane.and type 'para', it just resets the pane to some random looking (to me) note with nothing expanded - not showing any result at all (it's actually AFTER the note that contains para in the list of notes within the document). 

    I can post a video if someone needs - but the point is inline search does not add anything to notes searches that I can see. I'll create a new thread and post this as a bug.

    You are correct and I was mistaken: it does not work. 

    When you referred to using Ctrl-F as "inline search" it made me think that now that notes searchability is expanded, (true) inline searching would indeed be neat.
