The "Search" (Ctrl+F) function doesn't work in Reports
I have installed Zotero Standalone 5.0.4 and noticed that the search function is not working within Reports, produced from one or more Zotero items.
The command "Search" from the Menu "Modify" seem to produce no results.
I cannot remember whether previous versions of Zotero Standalone had a similar issue. "Search" worked perfectly in Zotero 4 for Firefox.

Searching in notes definitely did not work -- didn't actually exist -- in Zotero 4 either for Firefox or Standalone.
edit: so changing your question after asking it isn't terribly helpful... the question used to be about notes, note reports.
Within a Report I see two Menus: "File" and "Modify". Under "Modify" I do find a "Search (Ctrl+F)" option, but it doesn't work.
Save your report, open the saved file (it will be saved as a webpage which you could open in your browser) and you'll be able to search inside it.
Saving the Report as a file can help occasionally, but one's workflow is affected if s/he needs to produced several Reports and has to save them every time.
I feel that this is a substantial problem (at least for me or anyone using notes for extensive transcriptions), given that the Zotero 4 for Firefox didn't have it. Basically one just used the Ctrl+F function of Firefox and would find the required keywords.
[I use an Italian version of Zotero: thanks for the suggestion on not translating from my language into English! The "Edit" is spelled as "Modifica" in Italian]
