Pages, find and replace tool

Hi, after the latest Pages updates the "find and replace" tool no longer works for me, the bar appears, I write to it but any word also present in the text is "not found". I think there is some kind of bug, can anyone help me?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

This has been a recurring issue with the current versions of macOS and Pages.


The most often suggested action is to close all files in Pages, then close Pages.

Launch Pages again, and open the document exhibiting the behaviour.

If the behaviour persists, read through this discussion of the same question.
