Finding / highlighting searched for text in the preview pane

Finding / highlighting searched for text in the preview pane - can you do this?

How do you see the text you've searched for in the document in the preview
pane? This is basic functionality in most search software, without it preview
is pretty useless IMO
thanks

Re: Finding / highlighting searched for text in the preview pane

I don't see a way to do this. When I was looking, I was thinking that
Search may well find the search term in places other than the text within
the document; like in a file name, or in a tag or some other file property;
and if so, how to highlight that in the preview window. I have more to
learn!
