Confirm with 6.4master
I was wrong. It works for me in Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ee4823e16e5fece068ee123b9c3e29834cd38763 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Seems to be fixed with dev version. Please could you test it with dev version? You can download it here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ Thank you

> Please could you test it with dev version? I will try as soon as I have the resources. > also be sure, you're using search buttons on the right The buttons on the right do not search. They just focus every comment one by one, no matter of their content. I also think, that, as long as comments are shown it should be possible to search then through the usual work flow: Ctrl+F, type term, "enter" for search.

You can search in comments with the toolbar, if you disable comments in Edit => Find & Replace. So I assume, that this option is enabled in your version 6.0.7.3. Could you please check this => NEEDINFO
(Answer to Commment #6 from Dieter Praas) >You can search in comments with the toolbar, if you disable comments in Edit => Find & Replace. So I assume, that this option is enabled in your version 6.0.7.3. Opposite logic: You can ENable comments within the "Find & Replace" dialog. After ENabling it there, you can search within comments. The option for searching in comments should not be hidden inside the Find & Replace dialog. I suggest a UI change. Should I create a new bug for that or can we go on in here? =============================================== Reproduction log for searching in comments @Version 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ =============================================== A Document contains a comment with content "comment". --1-- 1) Ctrl + F 2) Type "comment" 3) Keep "Page" in the combo box to the right 4) Enter ❌result: does not find "comment". --2-- 1) Ctrl + F 2) Type "comment" 3) Set combo box to the right to "Comment" 4) Enter ❌result: does not find "comment". --3-- 1) Ctrl + F 2) Type "comment" 3) Set combo box to the right to "Comment" 4) Click the arrows next to the combo box to the right ❌result: writer steps to every comment, regardless of its content. --4-- 1) Menu -> Edit -> Find & Replace 2) Type "comment" 3) click button "find next" ❌result: does not find "comment". --5-- 1) Menu -> Edit -> Find & Replace 2) Type "comment" 3) Activate Checkbox "comments" 4) click button "find next" ✅result: finds "comment". --6-- 1) Menu -> Edit -> Find & Replace 2) Activate Checkbox "comments" 3) close dialog 4) Type "comment" 5) Keep "Page" in the combo box to the right 6) Enter ✅result: finds "comment" as expected. ----------------------------------------------------------- (Answer to Comment #3 from raal) > also be sure, you're using search buttons on the right As stated above, they are not search buttons. However, regardless of their function, hitting the enter key should end up in the desired behaviour.
Related Information, that should be taken into consideration when fixing: If 1) "search in comments" is activated within the "Find & Replace" dialog 2) Comments are not shown (Menu -> View -> Uncheck "Comments" Then Comments are searched. For the user it looks like "the page is jumping around randomly".
Indeed, the down arrow from the right just moves the cursor to the next comment Issue reproduced in Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: cbe9601e5972ec1c466311e0b148a9fbe8cda4d1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: c15927f20d4727c3b8de68497b6949e72f9e6e9e LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 thus, not a regression. probably already reported. @Jim, I thought you might be interested in this issue...

I think you're mixing things up. On the left you have the search box, on the right, the navigate by menu, they have different purposes. Maybe they should be separated to make it clearer.

(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #12) > Maybe they should > be separated to make it clearer. > Adding UX Team I agree. Better to open a news bug report for that?
(In reply to BottleOnTheGround from comment #7) > The option for searching in comments should not be hidden inside the Find & > Replace dialog. I suggest a UI change. > Should I create a new bug for that or can we go on in here? Yes, I recommend to open a new report like "Make comments searchable by default" and mark that as enhancement request. Since comments are searchable (if you know the settings) I would close this bug as RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
