Find in Comments Panel - feature request

When composing a piece, I use the Comments panel a lot – for example, to mark recurring areas that need development or editing. So, here’s the use case: I need to sequentially find each instance of an entered word or phrase among all the comments in the Dorico’s Comments panel. This function is similar to the Find function in any word-processor, web browser, etc.

Hoping it might help your developers, I’ve mocked up below how a magnifying-glass icon could trigger the Find function on the Comment panel’s bottom toolbar.

This is a nice idea. In the meantime, you should find that clicking the “export comments” button opens your default browser with all of the comments shown in there, and you can then use your browser’s standard find tools to locate the comments you’re looking for.
