        You can’t. It isn’t broken. That’s how it is designed to work. However, you could craft a regular expression search to find just ONE of the matches per line if that’s what you want.

          For example, searching in regular expression mode for

          XYZ.*\K$
          

          would find every line containing “XYZ” (one time only, no matter how many times “XYZ” was on a line) and nothing in the find window would be highlighted.

          If you want to highlight the first “XYZ” and everything after it, leave the “\K” out of the regex.
