Searching Highlighted Text
Does anyone know how to search your highlights? If I go into notebook and perform a search, it is only searching my notes but I want to do is search the text of my highlights to find a specific highlight from a book… I hope I'm missing something simple here but if this isn't possible it should be.

Unfortunately, searching for/within highlighting isn't yet supported on the web or mobile. Right now, we don't index user content on our servers.

No, as per above answer by @Mark Barnes (Logos) Some syntax is needed.
I'll have to try the desktop later… I even swapped seed with jesus and got 0 highlights. If I switch to all, I get a factbook card on Jesus or seed but still no results. I know I've highlighted Jesus somewhere so something is goofy
The desktop syntax is Jesus IN highlight:*

Here is what I'm trying to do… I'm trying to find a highlight I made over a year ago dealing with seed. I cannot figure out a way to search my highlights to find that specific highlight which will help me find the resource it was in

I should note I'm trying these searches on the Webapp and Mobile… does it need to be done on desktop?

Finding Highlighted words
Using the Highlight Search
- You can use either of the Highlight search methods above.
- Use the IN operator to find a word/phrase in the Highlight e.g.
- Lord IN highlight:Blue
- “Jesus Christ” IN highlight:Blue
If you don't remember the specific highlight try seed IN highlight*Field Search
- Click on Search in the Logos toolbar
- from the Search toolbar.
- In the All... Text drop down menu, click on the arrow next to a Palette name e.g. Solid Colors.
- Click on one, or more, Style names.
- Select a specific resource, or a collection of resources.
- In the Search box, enter the word/phrase that you want to search for e.g. Lord
- Start the search.

My only guess at this point is the webapp and mobile won't allow you to do this. I can understand the webapp but this should work on mobile. I'll have to try the desktop later… I even swapped seed with jesus and got 0 highlights. If I switch to all, I get a factbook card on Jesus or seed but still no results. I know I've highlighted Jesus somewhere so something is goofy
