The context hits will appear at the bottom of the Contents Pane.

If a document contains multiple context hits, you can move between hits by selecting Next Hit or Previous Hit from the View menu. The Image Pane will refocus on the location of the next or previous context hit in the document, and the matching term will appear highlighted both on the image and in the Text Pane.

Note: The Next Hit and Previous Hit options are available only if you have opened a document from a search or if you perform a search within a document.
