What issue do you have?

I have a strange problem where a text string "20" is being highlighted in orange in all my notes. This is a different shade from the creamish yellow which results from the "Find" command.

I can't help but think there's some obvious solution that I'm missing!

There are 2 types of searches. Global search and inline search. If you use a search bar above the note list to find a particular note, it will highlight any matches within the note as well. If you then use find within a note, any matches will override the highlighting from the global search

Are the orange 20’s surrounded by double equal signs (like this, ==20==)? The double equal sign is a Joplin-markdown code for highlighting. I think it’s undocumented, but only because I read the documentation with care and didn’t notice it. On my system, the highlight shows up as orange.

Thanks, am stuck on phone at the moment. Will try again once I have Internet access on my PC.

Not that I recall. Will check once I have Internet access on PC again.
