In macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has changed how some Quick Look previews are implemented; it was previously possible to hijack the Quick Look previews in order to display them in a custom view and to highlight and navigate through found occurrences, but this is unfortunately no longer the case for Mail messages.

You can either view the plain text version of the document (which supports highlighting and navigation), or click the Quick Look toolbar icon to view the rich Quick Look preview in the Quick Look window (with no highlighting or navigation).

We are investigating how to show the rich Quick Look preview directly in FoxTrot's preview pane, but this still won't allow highlighting or navigation.
