Useful way to search in comments

This is my problem: I use the Annotations plugin with my Kobo Touch and it works perfectly, they go right in the comments section. But there is no way to search for them later. I can put comments:"keyword" in the search bar, but it only displays the list of books that contain that comment, not the actual comment. Am I making sense? What I'm trying to say is this: if the annotation I'm looking for is "the sky was blue" and I search 'comment:"the sky was blue"', I want to see the actual comment somewhere (maybe highlighted), not just the list of books.

Is there a way to do this?

@nssl:

Yes, the next release of my Multi-Column Search plug-in will have special viewing functionality when you perform an Intra-Book Search of Comments using a specific Search Text.

See the attached example.


Update: Version 1.0.59 of MCS has been uploaded.

See the attached example from an early development version. I still have a lot of things to do, obviously, but I will release some version of it next week.

Perfect, that's exactly what I need. Would it be possible to see the formatted text instead of the tags?

@LadyScott:

Of course. As I said, I have a lot of work to do.

I updated the image in my prior post.

What color for the highlighting do you want?
