No highlight to show where the inline search refers to

When the results of an inline search appear those result(s) are highlighted in yellow.

However, that word is not highlighted in the page found. Or in the source document.

Two questions:

1. Can you change the colour of the search results from yellow to another colour?

2. Is there a setting that needs to be activated to see the hit in the source document? Nothing is highlighted, just the page shows up.

    no, although mine are blue. It may be due to the color of the background I have (paper or sepia).

    I started answer your questions and then realized that one of the two of us is using the wrong terminology. You are performing a search in a search window? I am performing what I can an "inline search," which is directly in the resource itself (not across the entire library). 

    Is there a setting that needs to be activated to see the hit in the source document? Nothing is highlighted, just the page shows up.

    They are showing up for me. Do you click on the actual WORD in the search results? It should open the resource to the right page and have the search word highlighted.

    Ya, it's probably me who has the incorrect lingo. So this is what I'm doing:

    Hope this helps.

    1. Inline search within the book itself

    2. The Results

    3. Actual article in the inlined search. But with no highlight.

    You have two instances of the book opened at the same time?

    That's true. However, the book on the Right opened when I clicked on the "Contents of Vol. 1 Page v" on the left side.

    That book on the left was the resource I did an inline search in.

    "Inline" searches are searches in the single, specific resource. It appears that you are opening up a different resource (even if it is a different volume in the same series). If you perform an "inline" search in the book on the RIGHT, you should see what you are looking for.
