Unable to advance to next search result using Advanced Search

Is there a way to advance to the next result in the text (not in the search box) in Advanced Searches? Formerly I could press command-G (I think) and it would take me to the corresponding page. This functionality has been gone for over a year. Now I have to click in the search box to get to the next result.

 

I see this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/key-to-move-to-next-search-result/m-p/12967526

 

It is unresolved.

 

Has anyone been able to reproduce the bug or find a workaround? Or is the function simply dead now.

Ventura latest, Acrobat DC Pro latest, M2 Macbook Pro

Found it: Enable Assistive Technology Support was checked (not sure why). Now arrows and command-G both work. This is useful info in case anyone else has the same issue. tx

When the focus is not in the search window, but in the document, CTRL/CMD G works fine. If the focus is in the search window, I use the up and down arrow.

Doesn't for me. If you start with a search in the window, the kbd command does nothing (though it used to move to the next found item). If you do a simple "find" with any term, command-g does the job as it should.

 

These are two different types of search. One displays all items found in the window. the other blindly chases the next found term. I need a solution to the window-display search.

forgot to say, up and down arrows advance to the next found term in the search window. They don't show the corresponding page in the document itself. So they really are useless. What's the point?

 

If you are describing a Windows version, my problem is for the mac version. tx

The arrows and the CTRL G work for me as specified. The link you posted points to a Windows user, but I assume that Adobe uses the same shortcuts on both systems, except where not appropriate.

Then perhaps its the machine config. Mine is M2 MBP 14 inch / Ventura's latest and Acrobat up to date too.

Will also hunt for something in the app preferences that might be blocking the arrow key advances.
