A need to be able to search "highlights" in the Notes

I learned that Logos will not search highlights even when highlights are filtered in the Notes. When searching for a word or topic, Logos only searches the "notes" within (or attached to) the highlight. It cannot search for any string inside the highlight itself. Which is strange given that the book that I highlighted is searchable.

It seems an obvious need for a search function in "Notes" that includes "highlights" where "highlights" can be filtered to be able to search for a string in the highlights.

This was confirmed by Logos tech support.

Logos can search for highlighted text using the syntax highlight:"Solid Colors/Blue" (put any highlighter style name you like there).

You can combine that with INTERSECTS to find book text that's been highlighted in a certain style, e.g., "Jesus Christ" INTERSECTS highlight:Blue

Mobile App -- Search Issues
When I open a text from Logos Scripture search on my phone, a new Bible tab opens every time rather than opening the passage in the tab that is already open. This is an issue for several reasons.
