I found a workaround! And I’d also like to add a big +1 because this feature - showing “Result x of y” when using CTRL + F within a note would be so much more user friendly.

Workaround: use the vault-wide search to search for the filename, then the search term.

  1. Expand sidebar
  2. Click the magnifying glass
  3. In the vault-wide search, enter file:name_of_note "search term"

That view will show you the number of times your search term was found within the note. If your search term is rare, you can even omit the filename.

I understand that keeping conversations in single threads helps the community, but am I allowed to link to a similar thread that was opened around the same time? The reason being that while it is less well explained and has fewer replies, it has 24 likes.
