I use the Find and Replace function quite frequently for my work, and with this new update, it no longer works. The Find / Find and Replace window appears, but it doesn't actually find (or highlight) the word, even though it is absolutely within the document. And then of course, it will not replace it, either. Any solutions?

With all respect UncleFlinsky, I followed your advice and discovered I could fix this problem in one minute:
fix it now in less than one minute
the problem occurs when the computer is shut down with open documents and the option "reopen windows when logging back in" is chosen on shut down. each document that is "reopened" automatically will no longer be able to use find
Yeah, worked once. But problem came back a day or two later.
I just installed the update that was released today for Pages, and the search problem is now fixed.
No, just in Pages. For me, any time I restart the app or close and reopen the individual file, it starts working again, only to go down later.
Thanks so much, Schmendrick, this sounds promising, I'll give it a try!
I just got a new Mac Studio Max, using MacOS 12.3.1 and the Find function has been fixed.
In fact, I believe it was fixed in the last update on my iMac i9.
I cannot believe it. Search function works now! Someone must have made a mistake and listened to our hundreds of complaints. Anyone else having luck?
