Find/change: Search popup—not all options show
Many times, I have gone to the Find/Change dialog box and not seen any options in the Search popup other than "All Documents or "Document."
"Story," "End of Story," etc. are missing.

The options 'Story' and 'End of Story' is shown only when the cursor is inside a text frame. Otherwise, only Document and All Documents options are shown.

Still happening in ID 2023 (18.0) – please, please, please Adobe, address this very irritating bug!
It's depressing to see that so many of the bug reports I've voted for either are unanswered or that the last response from Adobe was years ago. -

I am currently having this issue right now! Was the bug never fixed? This issue was brought up in 2017 and never addressed.... is it me or are all the programs more glitchy than previous years?

Still happening in 2022. I have a book with like 20 documents open; restarting InDesign every time this bug occurs is killing me.

This is still happening in the latest version of Indesign — v17.0.1 / 2022.
Restarting works for one find/change, then back to the same issue.
Trashing preferences also only works one time.
Please fix this up ASAP – this is a huge time waster when working on a project such as a book.
Seems it has been happening for the last 5–6 years now. Please fix this Adobe. -

Yes! This is happening to me too! And it's 2021!

… and it is still happening in CC 2020 (15.0.1.209).
Adobe disappoints – again – they seem more focused on adding new functions than fixing long-present problems like this one. It's a shame they don't see that improving stability and fixing bugs is what professionals want the most.Affinity Publisher is looking more and more like an option – for a fraction of the cost.

Colleen, thank you for reporting this bug. It is extremely inconvenient losing access to Find in Story, and I hope this will be addressed soon!

Quitting and relaunching InDesign CC 2018 is the only way to restore the search options. This was also happening in CC 2017.
