Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known bug. Find in Markdown Preview opens, but it doesn’t find anything. It works in regular VS Code, but it’s broken in Cursor. We’ve logged an issue, but I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet. Once there’s an update, we’ll post it in the thread.

Workaround: open the file in the regular editor view, not Preview, and use Ctrl+F there. Or temporarily copy the content into a view with Markdown highlighting.
