@D Gold : which search bar are you talking about ?
Which kind of document ?

Are you really using LO6304 as that version has been replaced by the current 6342?

Have you tried updating to the newest available version ?

I have in mind the bar marked "Find" in the lower left-hand corner below each open file (I think you call it the Find bar).

The problem occurs both if I key in characters directly into that bar and if I first click Edit - Find and then enter characters into the bar.

I use only Writer Documents.

I should have written version 6.0.7.3.

No, I haven't tried the newest version.

Thanks.

Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

DIACRITICS: Use the "Find & Replace" dialogue (Ctrl + H),and tick "Diacritic sensitive", to find specific diacritics.

APOSTROPHES: The search term needs to include the correct form of the apostrophe: either straight (type direct from the keyboard) or curly (Alt 0146 in Windows).
