<pre>(Answer to Commment #6 from Dieter Praas)
<span class="quote">>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.</span >
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?

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