Search not working!

Help!

Last weekend had to reinstall my laptop completely. Luckily I was able to backup my important stuff, such as the Calibre configuration directory. After reinstalling everything I copied the configuration directory back to the original location (as I read that that was the way to keep all my settings and not having to start from scratch). But now it seems that Calibre will not give any search results when I use the 'search' bar at the top or the 'find' bar on the left.

Please help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Anything to prevent me from starting from scratch!

Search for something that you cn see in front of you.
Does it now show Blue bar?
The 'Highlight search results' has toggled on and needes to be cleared.

Preferences:Searching: (remove the tick)

Great! Thanks so much! That worked wonders! Feeling a bit dumb now though, but it shows the results again!
