Why Doesn't My Search Find Results?

Bill

I used this search in the past with success but now it doesn't seem to work. Did something change or did I do something wrong?

I selected Search Type-Documents

I Typed Highlight: in the query box and selected the style criteria I wanted from the dropdown list and pressed enter.

Zip!

Note; this technically is not a highlight but a note identifier in the palette for the icon in the note. I don't recall ever having an actual highlight associated with most of these styles within the palette, but still was able to search and find them using this method.

Note the highlight style and palette to the left appears to be identical and the Notes to the right show they are in the NoteBook and the icon is also there in the notes.

Thank you for helping!

Bill,

Highlight: will not work with Docs Search.
You can perform a Books Search if you used a Highlight style in your Note.

In the search query, you have a fullstop at the front of Bible—is it supposed to be there?

Bill

@Yasmin Stephen Yes it is, the period is there to give the palette a higher priority in the Highlight palette list.

Alright. I thought it was an error and was affecting the result. I'm stumped.

@Dave Hooton Thank You Dave. Too bad I can't search Icons, only Highlights.
