>You can search in comments with the toolbar, if you disable comments in Edit => Find & Replace. So I assume, that this option is enabled in your version 6.0.7.3.

Opposite logic:
You can ENable comments within the "Find & Replace" dialog. After ENabling it
there, you can search within comments.

The option for searching in comments should not be hidden inside the Find &
Replace dialog. I suggest a UI change.
Should I create a new bug for that or can we go on in here?

> also be sure, you're using search buttons on the right
As stated above, they are not search buttons.
However, regardless of their function, hitting the enter key should end up in
the desired behaviour.
