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
Thanks so much, Schmendrick, this sounds promising, I'll give it a try!
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?
This was extremely helpful, but having WAY too many open documents in Pages (including over a dozen Untitled documents), I tried just closing the document I needed to use Search & Replace in and then reopening that document. It worked, but only for that document, of course. Most of my open documents don't need to be searched in, so this was a real time-saver. Posting this in case it helps anyone else with my problem.
Thank you UncleFinsky!!!!
Here are the steps to fixing the problem:
1 close the pages document.
2 Quit Pages.
3 Open Pages.
4 Open the document.
I was able to use Find again.
It also seems odd that you can no longer alphabetize people in the PHOTOS app. In a older version it was possible, but not any longer.
