### Additional information

Screen recording: [Bug - CSS snippet stopped working in iOS 1.14.4 Screen Recording 2026-10-07 at 10.09.18.MP4 - Proton Drive](https://drive.proton.me/urls/ZKRM1Q9J0R#KSwHCRlHLFGk)

The `search-highlight.css` snippet:

```css
.suggestion-highlight {
  background-color: var(--text-highlight-bg); /* https://docs.obsidian.md/Reference/CSS+variables/Foundations/Colors#Text+background+colors */
}

```

I see the `suggestion-highlight` class is still there in Obsidian desktop 1.13.7, did it change in 1.14.4?

I don’t see the relation with the highlight on that link. Can you please quote here the exact part you are referring, and explain a bit more?

Change the color value to `var(--highlight-background)` and you should be good to go.

```css
.suggestion-highlight {
  background-color: var(--highlight-background); 
}

```

Some new highlight variables were introduced for the `==🔴new text highlighting==` in notes:

```css
/* Highlights */
  --highlight-opacity: 30%;
  --highlight-background: var(--text-highlight-bg, var(--highlight-background-yellow));
  --highlight-background-red: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-red) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
  --highlight-background-orange: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-orange) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
  --highlight-background-yellow: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-yellow) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
  --highlight-background-green: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-green) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
  --highlight-background-blue: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-blue) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
  --highlight-background-purple: color-mix(in oklch, var(--color-purple) var(--highlight-opacity), transparent);
