Robohelp search/find problems 2019

When trying to Find in Robohelp 2019 it goes straight to an xpj (code) page and finds my search. Then asks if I want to start from the begining. When I click OK it either keeps staying on the xpj page or starts searching the TOC. Under 'Look in' I have Current Project chosen.

The searching of the TOC just started this morning. Find is very unpredictable and I need to use it but can't trust it at this point.

Any ideas?

Good catch Amber. That will definitely screw that search.

Thank you Ambre and Peter.

It is searching properly now. 🙂

Peter's suggestion should fix it.

I'd also recommend unticking the "Use: " checkbox unless you are specifically doing a regular expression or wildcard search. Mostly it probably won't make a difference, but some characters like parentheses or . or / might give you unexpected results when the setting is on.

Try changing what is in Files of Type.
