Hello, I am in a situation where I need to frequently search for and change across my document. I find the automatic ‘Search Paused’ feature after making an edit in the document very annoying. The two images below show what I am referring to.

————————————————–

Is there any way to disable this feature so that, after making a search, all the text remains highlighted and I can continue to see the count / examples in the Navigation Plane? Essentially, in the exact same way as a web browser with CTRL-F.

Whether it’s an option in the settings, some kind of ‘better search’ add-on I can install, or an edit I’d need to make in the registry, please tell me if there is a solution. I vastly prefer Microsoft Word over its competitors but this is a huge issue that greatly slows down my workflow. Thank you.
