Marking search results on the scrollbar?
Hi!
I seem to remember that search results were marked with colored strips on the scrollbar. But now they're not.
Is there a setting for this, or is my memory failing me?

Re: Marking search results on the scrollbar?
Hello Lev and Avada,
Thank you for the discussion. Lev is correct that currently these only appear in Continuous mode, however It certainly should be possible to show these marks in Single page mode as well. I am not sure how well it would work in the dual page modes however. I have created a feature request for you on this matter:
RT#4739: Show scroll bar Search Ticks on single page view
Kind regards,

Thanks. Could you add dual page mode as well?TrackerSupp-Daniel wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 6:08 pmI have created a feature request for you on this matter:

Much the same. You click where you see the colored notch and one of the pages will have the result.TrackerSupp-Daniel wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 6:08 pm however It certainly should be possible to show these marks in Single page mode as well.

By the way, this is what happens with dual page continuous. Which also supports these search ticks.
(I can even imagine these ticks for the bookmarks panel. It might be useful if you're searching something in specific chapters.)
Related:
Shift+click should really jump the slider of the scrollbar (not just for content area scrollbar) to the clicked location, as it is normal for windows apps and Windows' own scroll-bar. It's a tad of neglect for feature parity with most apps.
Also the value of this feature is vastly multiplied, with search ticks like this, because you know exactly where you want to scroll.

Hello avada,
I've just updated the ticket, and made it clear that the request is for both single and double page non continuous mode!
I will also make the suggestion for Shift+Click - but I just did a few quick tests - and it does not seem to work consistently in e.g. browsers.
Regards,
Stefan

Well, it works with firefox and chromium browsers I tried, foobar2000, Total Commander. With plain Windows (explorer) windows, most apps.Tracker Supp-Stefan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:52 am I will also make the suggestion for Shift+Click - but I just did a few quick tests - and it does not seem to work consistently in e.g. browsers.

Re: Marking search results on the scrollbar?
Indeed it does, As Stefan mentioned, We'll make sure it is suggested as well, but cannot provide any guarantees at this time.

I thought of something else. I noticed that the tick appears for advanced search as well. But it only uses one color unlike the highlights of the results. I see no reason why it couldn't use all the colors that the advanced search highlights do for multiple word search.

Hi Avada,
Do you have this option enabled? If not, please give it a try and see if that is what you're looking for.
Thanks,

Yes. That's what makes the highlights multi-colored. (I didn't know, or forgot, that you can actually disable it)Will - Tracker Supp wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 9:35 am Hi Avada,

What I mentioned is about making the taskbar ticks colored as well. At present they're all orange.

Re: Marking search results on the scrollbar?
Thanks for that Avada! I've raised a formal feature request for this (RT-4770), but as always cannot guarantee the implementation at this time. Personally, I quite like the idea and don't see any reason that it couldn't feasibly be done, at this time. Ultimately, it's up to the devs.
Cheers,

Hello avada,
I see that:
#4770: Coloured Search Results In Scrollbar
Has been accepted and assigned to a developer. So yes - the decision is that we will look at implementing this in the future, but the ticket is still open, so the feature is not yet ready.
Regards,
Stefan

+1 for this feature.
Is there any update yet on when this might get implemented?

Hello, christian kuhlmann
Sadly there has been no news on it since Stefan's last update. The up-side to this is that it means that this ticket has not been rejected, and is still on the list to be implemented, thought admittedly it is quite low priority in comparison to other tasks.
Kind regards,
