[Feature Request] Highlight Searched for text in PDF view

Post by iandol »

If I use the Spotlight quick search, the PDF results can be displayed in the attachments panel. In Scrivener and Papers, when your search includes a PDF it also highlights the searched for term within the PDF panel (and scrolls to the first match):

It would be nice to see this in Bookends too.

OK, when doing a Live Search using Spotlight and the pdf pane is visible, Bookends will show the search phrase in yellow and scroll to it.
