Viewing multiple match documents in full text results

Some full text results show multiple matches in a single document, but when that document is shown, only the first match is marked, and there is no link to the other matches. How do I find the other matches in that document (which may be hundreds of pages long)?

    @dermotb Two options that I know of…. Using the 'initial' image as a starting point, page forward/back looking for text highlights of you keyword[s]. The other is to use you image results page and go thru each… one at a time. Full Text Search does not know that a particular record spans images. The titles used in the image results list can give you clue, but I'm afraid you'll need to do some 'exploring'

    The image results page shows a link to the first one but not the others, unfortunately, so there is nothing for it but to scroll through hundreds of pages, which is not quick either. I hope they fix this.

    @dermotb, I'd love to take a look and see if I can recreate your problem. Please send a link with an example so we can see what is happening.

    @dermotb The image results page will only show those images with your keyword[s] or keyword phrases. If pages of the document do not include any of those items those pages will not be in the list. Sounds like what you're asking, but it's unclear
