That's curious for two reasons: first, I did not change any code 
recently that should affect PDF searching, and two, it does seem to work 
on my system (admittedly with a very simple PDF and in a virtual machine).

Could you test with, e.g., 
https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/raw/master/testcases/base14-fonts.pdf 
(one of the TeXworks test cases for font rendering). I searched for 
"brown" and it seemed to work. Admittedly, the bright yellow highlight 
does not visually pop much (at least on my screen), but it did show up 
(and vanish again after some time, as in the past).

HTH
