I use CTRL+F to search within Lucid Spark all the time.  It is so frustrating that search results zoom to 150%.  Please can this be turned off so that the zoom size stays at its setting prior to doing CTRL+F.

Hi Eric, thanks for your reply.  I use Lucidspark for Brainstoming sessions with my clients.  I have diagrams with hundreds of “yellow stickys”, that are arranged in a tabular format.  I regularly use the diagram, and do a CTRL+F to search for keywords, but when the zoom increases from its current resolution to 150% I lose the view of where the “yellow sticky” is located in the overall big picture because it has been zoomed to 150%. Its actually annoying and embarassing when in front of clients, especially since I have promoted the use of Lucid with my clients.   I need Lucidspark to find my keywords, highlight them and leave the magnification at its original setting.  I see this was raised 4 years ago by another customer in the following link. How to search without zooming in? | Community (lucid.co) Can this be added to your developement schedule?  Many thanks John.

I too am finding it annoying when CTRL-F causes the view to zoom to 150%. Having to fix the zoom and move the view back to where I was EVERY time I click CTRL-F is not helpful. The colour change is ample for seeing where the find feature has found the search phrase. This behaviour is not normal across any other apps that I’ve ever used. If this was done as an accessibility feature, then we should be able to disable it.

Can Luicd be updated for when using CTRL F / find and replace, it can just stay at the same viewing you are currently using?  It is very frustrating for it to go large b/c you have to update each page in your file and its also not good for your eyes. 

Thank you for help help or changes for the future.
