I am trying to use a regex to find this, but am struggling. I'm either getting false positives or the regex returns nothing. I am aware it is most likely an error on my part, and would appreciate any help from the community.
Works with false positives: comment:"Highlight" and comment:"~Highlight\s"
Example that doesn't work: comment:"~^Highlight\s$(?m)"

You need to add
Browse annotations to a toolbar/menu or use a keyboard shortcut (default is 'B') to pop that dialogue box.
And, AFAICT 'annotations' are not available to the Book list search feature:
