Word search result display

Just curious, would there be any display option that I’m not aware of when I’m searching for a work in the entire manuscript? The default that I have is: on the left, all the texts that have that particular word in it, and on the editor page, all the search results are highlighted - however if there are multiple results on that particular page, I have to scroll down to find all the appearance.

Is there a feature to let me quickly jump to the next and the next search results on that page? Or display all sentence snippets with that word?

Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is using the Quick Search bar when inside the document and look at the text entries. Clicking on one takes you to the highlighted instance of the search term in the sentence.

The project search term is automatically loaded into the document Find/Replace in the background, so after you run the project search you can use the Find Next/Previous shortcuts (F3 and Shift+F3 on Windows by default) to jump through the instances, including from one document to the next.

There’s not presently a way to show all the sentence snippets from the full project text, but you do get a context result like this for the top ten in-text hits when using the Quick Search in the main toolbar, and selecting the result will jump you straight there.
