Search issue in Obsidian: doesn't highlight found words, only positions the cursor - Help!

Are you using the global Search (in the sidebar) or search within one note (Cmd/Ctrl + f) here?

Either way, the highlighted search result(s) color can be changed by a theme or CSS snippet. I’d investigate there to see if something is interfering.

The troubleshooting steps are in the template, but I’ll link them again here:
