Bug ID: 142498
Summary: UI: Highlight the found search text in cell
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium

Difficult to spot the found search term when cells contain a lot of text
When searching text the whole cell is outlined (or marked when using "Find
All").
If the cell contains a lot of text it can be difficult to find the search text
in there (e.g. searching for "test" in the attachment).
If the found search text where highlighted in some way it would help a lot.
In Writer the found search text is even marked and can be immediately modified;
I am not sure whether in Calc that should be done - it would change current
behaviour significantly.
I would already be happy if there was just a temporary highlighting of the
searched/replaced text in the cell, with no influence on the way cells are
marked with the search/replace function. If the cell is so large that the
marked part is outside the visible area - bad luck ;-)
I would not mind if that were only available using the Expert Configuration and
having to triple sign a waiver that it might mess up the screen representation
of the data :-)
Admitting to low priority, I could only find
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61830718/libreoffice-calc-how-to-highlight-text-within-cell-during-search
(but that could be my poor Google-fu). So apparently demand is low and it seems
to me the complexity of the enhancement is high.
