highlighting search terms

When I do a search (in version 7), the search terms are not highlighted in the individual notes. Is that how it's supposed to be, or am I doing something wrong?

Not sure if this is supposed to be so, but it's a nice thing to have. Same in PDF search results

They should be highlighted and on my test machine they do. Is this some simple search? Or something more elaborate?

It's a simple search of one word.

May I belatedly raise this issue again?

I find now that words are highlighted in the notes when I do a global search but not with the "filter section notes" command. I'm sorry to see this because I use filtering much more frequently than the global search.

By design it does not highlight found words when the quick filter is used. Probably adding such an option will be useful to more people. I will consider it.

Thanks. I hope you'll think about doing this. I'm sure I am not alone in depending so heavily on the quick filter.
