Search in HTML preview unreliable
Searching inside the HTML preview is the killer feature for me, because I use Markdown files for all my knowledge collection. Typically I open my files first in Marked and just in case I have to change something I do the Ctrl-E to open an editor. So I do extensive search inside the HTML window, and this seems a bit unreliable.
There is a file containing i.e. this Markdown line:
Network and SAN Troubleshooting Guides: Search in
the HTML preview will find every portion of this sentence except
the word "Trouble" or "Troubleshooting". There are some more
occurrences of the word in the text, it is not found. I copied the
word from the text into the search box to exclude the risk of
typos. I expect that other word are also not found.
It also seems that words in heading lines like
Solution/Product Interoperability Matrix Tool:
Organisatorisches
are not found. None of these words in the heading lines are found.

Hm, my original post describing the issue seems to be overwritten by my own comment ... Again:

Ok, something went wrong with my initial post, now again:

Had a horrible experience today when I realized that over 50 posts had been moved to the spam folder and I wasn't checking it frequently. I apologize sincerely for the delay in response. Please update this issue and let me know if it still exists and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
