Is it possible to add a functionality to use regular expressions? For example, a problem that I have is that I want a macro to highlight everything that is between two square brackets (including the square brackets). We can do this with regex by typing \[(.*?)\], but it seems that I cannot do it with this macro.

Hi,
I have a fair amount of highlighting using different colors on my Pages.  Would you consider a checkbox to allow flashing of the found text ?

Hi,
Can you please add the option to change text colour as well?..

I just tried to use this add-on and it failed BTW, it changed a few sections and left the rest.

can you make it work to work on multi keywords . i just want to highlight multiple different words in a page.

Omer: Search Multi-Keywords works fine, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks!

PeterM92: Perhaps you can use Search Multi-Keywords macro for that: https://getonetastic.com/macroland&id=476EC47E319E4074AEF49CE79DBAC0EC

Hello Omer,

Search&Highlight works fine, thank you.

It would be awesome if it would show a list of pages, where the keyword occurs... (for scope selected Current section, Current notebook ...)

Thanks, regards

Hello Omer,

Yay it worked!!

What makes sense to me does not always work in the program, as I'm not good with the syntax, and I get stuck for a long time.
I am happy I can do a search and replace in only certain paragraphs in OneNote now, I don’t have to paste to word and edit now.

I hate having to paste to word and then paste back  - I always lose all my formatting and then have to spend time re-editing and aligning all the bits again -  busy people don't have time for this.


Thanks for all the great tips!


And I will see you in the new year, enough macros for me this year!

Stay Happy and well my friend

Happy 2017!

:)

And Have a Great Weekend!

Dan: You are querying text under whole page instead of the paragraph you have

Hi Omer,

Hope you are good.

I am trying to target paragraphs that ONLY have the word EDIT in them to do a search and replace.


The below should work but it does not for some reason, I tried a lot of things :(


I set it up correctly?

When you have a moment please advise
Thank you

JTorrent: Hi, yes Search & Highlight only works on text content and not images.

'Search & Highlight' doesn't find any instances of the word if its in a picture (set to make text searchable).  "Cntr + F"  does find the selected word.  

Guy: Choose "Remove Highlight" from the color dropdown

how do you remove the highlight?

Can you please add a [x] Whole word option?  Presently if you search for the word 'the', other words containing 'the' are partially highlighted.
Examples: there, theory, them, either, theories, their, rather etc.

Hi Omer,

Thanks a lot for the onestatic, I really loved it. The search & replace / highlight macros are a boon to me. However a small request : Could you please write a macro for search & apply custom style ? (This is a larger version of the search & highlight) as I want my own formatting for the searched key words instead of a simple yellow shade on them. This will be very useful to visually glance through the page and find my key words with right set of formatting applied to them.

You are an excellent programmer and this would be a piece of cake to you, but I am a layman with no knowledge of coding. I tried to edit your search & highlight macro but was not successful. Please help me in this regard. Hope you would reply at least and consider this request.

Can you make it so that the serach and highlight function works beyond the current page and includes the notebook?

Dong: Search & Bold macro was added recently. Find it under Related Macros section at the top right.

Omer Atay:  Been meaning to reply.  Fantastic!  

This is so cool!
I was wondering is there anyway to search and bold?

jwe-houston: I updated the macro to support 25 colors and added the ability to remove highlighting.

Finds all terms requested on the page.  Would be fantastic to select colors other than default yellow.

Howard Pearse: You can select all the text and choose \"No Color\" from the text highlight color chooser in the ribbon (in the Home > Basic Text group)

How do you turn off the highlighting??
