    No more "Search" on highlighted text?

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused. There is no option to search on the highlighted text in Microsoft Edge. I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer so that you can use the search option on the highlighted text.

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for any further issue on Windows Operating System. We will be happy to help you.

    Highlight, Seach on Edge?

    Hi,

    Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Highlighting text in Microsoft edge is not removed. I would suggest you to reset Microsoft edge and see if that helps.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.

    2. Click on More options.

    3. Click on Settings.

    4. Click on ‘Choose what to clear’.

    g. Select all of them and click on Clear all.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other issues with Windows in future.

    Text Highlighter not working in Microsoft Edge

    Inaccurate Text Highlighting w/ Edge


    Baseline:
    Will not highlight individual text characters in Edge, yet will "deselect" individual characters.
    Works fine in Chrome.

    Update:
    Works fine in Open Office (I don't have Word)
    Works fine in Windows Notepad.
    Works fine in Edge's address bar.*Confused
    Same problem with downloaded .pdf files.
    Same problem in Explorer.

    I believe I have no other text-related apps to test.
