Hi there. I really hoped I had made it clear in my post but I fully understand how Find and Replace works. I use it every single day. I am saying that the function does not work anymore. In fact, I had already selected the same settings as you before I posted my question. When I pull up the find box using Command + F, I type the word to find, and the word to replace it with. It simply doesn't "find" the word, or highlight it, so I therefore cannot make use of the "replace" feature, either.
You can see in first screenshot that I have selected the same settings, and in the second screenshot, you can see "find" is highlighted in the box, indicating I have pressed "enter", which would normally find all instances of the word I'm trying to find and highlight them, as well as highlighting each found word one-by-one in a different color (usually yellow, for me) as I replace the individual words I would like to replace the found word with.

Hopefully that clears up my question. I know how to use Find and Replace, but the feature is simply not working.
