When searching and highlighting there are scenarios where I cannot read the text, in particular for me it is when the text being searched for is a comment.
Below I have gone through some easy to follow steps to outline the issue.
Tanks
#### Step 1) Normal Text Highlight
Just text selected with the mouse
#### Step 2) I now do a page search
I now do a page search for `as you cannot really delete`
In the image below you can see 3 areas and3 different colours. `delete` is almost unreadable.
- `information and set blocked` = part of the original text highlight but not part of the page search
- `as you cannot really` = part of the original text highlight and now highlighted by the page search
- `delete` = NOT part of the original text highlight and now highlighted by the page search
#### Step 3) I now do a project search
I now do a page search for `cannot really delete` and of course the page search is still enabled from above.
There appears to be 2 different colour variants of the search highlighting here, but I am not sure why.
both the grey (`as you`)and orange are readable (`cannot really delete`) but I would say the orange looks like it has been greyed a little.
The first part is a murky orange and cannot be read (`as you`), the next section is a vibrant orange and is easily read (`cannot really delete`)
#### Step 4) Page search only
This is a page search only for `as you cannot really delete`. As you can see the text is not readable.
#### Step 5) Project search only
This is a project search only for `as you cannot really delete`. As you can see the text is not readable.
