Fired up Sigil, loaded my test epub and with only the xhtml file open I told it to search ALL CSS Files, for first-letter-h and clicked find and it happily worked correctly.

So I can not recreate this at all with my admittedly simplistic test case.

Could one of the hyphens in the class name be an en dash or em dash somehow?

A stripped down test case epub might help if you can post one.

Thanks.

I'm attaching a scrambled and simplified epub. A search for first-letter-h when a xhtml file has the focus and I am searching in all CSS files, count all still shows 2 matches but find shows none. If i simplify the search to first-letter, count all shows 8 matches and find finds them in turn.

The CSS is a bit of a mess in the original with such lovely items as:

.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-h,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-j,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-w {
  line-height: 1  !important;
  margin-top: -0.07em;
}

.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-a,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-c,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-e,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-f,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-r,.element-container-single.element-bodymatter p.first-in-chapter.first-full-width span.first-letter.first-letter-w {
  margin-right: 0.12em;
}

Removing much of the xhtml files and deleting unused CSS did simplify this quite a bit.
