Find/Replace doesn't jump to parent pages
ID version 20.5, Windows 11
Problem: when using the Find/Replace dialog, there is a switch to also search in parent pages. Usually, the find action would jump to the text it finds, but not to a parent page, at least not if the found text is in a locked text frame. But that's illogical. It could at least jump to that parent page. Whether it would mark the found text or not in the locked text frame, is discussable, but even that is no magic. Just mark the text, even if I, as user, cannot change it for the moment.

oh my goodness.
so in the Find/Change panel you can turn on "search parent pages". there's a little button that is by default unchecked.I'll leave my comment because the oversight was MINE!

just discovered this today. even when the parent page is open, and it's the only thing on the screen, using Find/Change doesn't register anything.
this seems like a huge oversight.
